Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI), a communications equipment company, introduces V200, the company’s newest body camera.
The V200 joins Motorola Solutions’ ecosystem of enterprise security technologies, which includes purpose-built video security, access control and communications solutions to help improve safety and security across schools, hospitals, and businesses of all sizes, the company says.
The V200 body camera is specifically designed to help protect frontline workers in stores, hospitals, hotels, schools, and stadiums as it allows users to easily record incidents with the push of a button. In more serious scenarios, such as medical incidents or crime, the camera’s GoLive Audio safety feature offers a direct connection to security personnel or a supervisor who can access live video and audio and interject through the camera’s speaker.

“Industries like retail, healthcare, hospitality and education are recognizing the value of body cameras to improve safety for their workers and those they serve,” said Jeremiah Nelson, corporate vice president, Command Center Software and Evidence Products at Motorola Solutions. “In these environments, feeling safe at work is key. The V200 was purpose-built to give frontline workers peace of mind on the job, offering proactive and immediate assistance when and where they need it.”
In a 2024 report on retail worker safety, Motorola explored worker sentiment related to body cameras, determining more than a quarter of workers have considered quitting their jobs due to safety concerns. It also found half of workers think body cameras could make them feel safety, and the majority said body camera recordings could aid in investigations.
“When people feel safe, they can be more focused and productive,” said Dr. Reed Hayes at Loss Prevention Research Council. “ Body worn cameras are an investment in employee safety and morale which can have a direct and positive impact on team efficiency and the overall work environment.”
