“An integrated, secure mobile video solution can enhance safety and efficiency for public safety users,” said John Kedzierski, Senior Vice President, Video Security Solutions, Motorola Solutions.
“WatchGuard provides industry-leading capabilities, from capturing an incident from more than a dozen vantage points to technology that enables users to recover and upload video from events hours or days after they happened.”
