otorola Solutions has unveiled

SVX, a brand new type of video microphone for emergency workers. It puts secure radio, video and smart AI all into one device, and it’ s made to go with their main radio, the APX NEXT.

The company’ s research shows that patrol officers spend between 40 % to 60 % of their time writing reports entering basic data about people, vehicles and property. The new solution targets this time-consuming work, accelerating more factually-grounded police reports and evidence, while preserving officers’ time holistically, from 911 call to case closure.

The convergence of radio, video and AI means Assist can also go far beyond documenting an officer’ s individual perspective by collating the diversity of data from every stage of the incident, including radio conversations, officer’ s location, 911 call information, dispatch records, other body or street camera footage and community inputs.

Assist’ s access to more sources means more cross-referencing and verification for higher levels of accuracy, reliability and trustworthy insights.

As a converged and wireless device, SVX effectively halves the number of devices and reduces maintenance, while everyday shifts are covered with the swappable battery. Critically, the convergence of radio, video and AI serves as a force multiplier, capturing and synthesising a greater diversity of data throughout an incident for more accurate police reporting and verified evidence.

Mahesh Saptharishi, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Motorola

Solutions, said:“ We’ ve designed SVX and Assist to combine secure voice, video and AI with exceptional quality and capability for the people in uniform who protect us all.”

SVX is mission-critical voice, video and AI for evidence

Integrated with the APX NEXT radio, it features the company’ s latest generation ambient noise reduction, allowing officers to communicate with clarity or ask Assist for support despite background noise. At the same time, SVX’ s high-definition video retains all ambient sound to protect the objective integrity of everything an officer sees and hears through the camera.

Capturing dual streams through both radio and video communications, which Assist can unify in evidence, means SVX is capturing greater context and clarity for a more comprehensive timeline of events.

“ Try using your everyday smartphone AI assistant with police sirens blaring; your message won’ t be understood,” said Saptharishi.“ Police officers need to confidently communicate wherever they are, and the quality of audio directly affects the usability of radio and video evidence.”

“ An officer is trained to notice things in the field, so it’ s critical their reports reflect their perception of the incident, in their voice,” he added.“ Assist can support and verify their perspective, including identifying discrepancies. For example, Assist may flag that‘ the car is black( per video footage), not blue,’ a finding that must be confirmed by a human. This is about augmenting human memory versus replacing it.”
