Enhancing Hospital Staff Safety with Motorola Body-Worn Cameras

In March 2025, NHS England reported a concerning rise in workplace violence, with 14.38% of NHS staff experiencing physical violence from patients, relatives, or the public in 2024—up from 13.88% in 2023. Additionally, 25.08% of staff reported harassment, bullying, or abuse, with over half attributing this to their ethnic background. These statistics underscore the urgent need for robust safety measures to protect healthcare professionals.

Motorola Solutions Body-Worn Cameras: A Proactive Safety Measure

Motorola Solutions offers advanced body-worn cameras designed to enhance NHS staff safety and security. Models like the Motorola Solutions V200 and VB400 provide features tailored for healthcare environments.

Motorola Solutions V200

GoLive Audio: Instantly connect with supervisors or security personnel during critical situations.
Livestreaming Capabilities: Enables security teams to monitor incidents in real-time for faster response.
Secure Data Management: Footage is encrypted with AES-256, ensuring compliance with privacy laws.
Enhanced Training & Accountability: Recorded footage helps train staff and promotes accountability.

Motorola Solutions VB400

Long Battery Life: Up to 12 hours of continuous recording.
Pre- and Post-Recording: Captures critical context before and after activation.
Peer-Assisted Recording (PAR): Automatically starts recording when near a colleague’s active camera, capturing multiple viewpoints.
GPS Integration: Tracks incident locations for improved situational awareness.
Radio Integration: Records automatically when paired radios detect emergency states or “man down” situations.
Live Streaming: Integrates with Avigilon Control Center (ACC) and other VMS systems to provide live video and alarms to security operators.

Securely Manage and Share Video Evidence

Compliance with HIPAA and local privacy regulations is critical in safeguarding patients’ personal health information. Motorola Solutions’ VideoManager is a fully customisable digital evidence management platform that:

Securely offloads VB400 footage for access by authorised personnel only.
Protects personally identifiable information through image and audio redaction.
Assigns user roles and permissions, with audit logs to track every action for transparency.
Uses two-factor authentication and access control keys to prevent unauthorised access.

This ensures that all video evidence maintains evidential integrity while remaining compliant with privacy standards.

The Power of the Safety and Security Ecosystem

Respond to security incidents in real-time with integrated technology

A fully integrated ecosystem ensures that healthcare security professionals can respond to incidents in real time and prevent escalation. The VB400 bridges the gap between staff and security teams, enhancing situational awareness and enabling a coordinated, smarter response when every second counts.

Radio integrations – If paired with select radios over Bluetooth, the VB400 can automatically record when the user’s radio enters an “emergency state”, which is when the user presses the radio’s emergency button, or when the radio’s man down sensor detects the user is down.

Peer-assisted recording – When a situation escalates quickly, a healthcare security professional supporting a colleague may not have a chance to hit the record button. With Peer-Assisted Recording (PAR) enabled, once their colleague starts recording on their camera, their own VB400 will automatically start recording when they are within range, capturing multiple viewpoints of the same incident.

Live streaming – Integrate with Avigilon Control Center (ACC) and other VMS systems, so user-activation of a body camera can display the camera’s live video feed and send an alarm to the system operator alongside video feeds from fixed cameras. This enables security personnel to gain complete situational awareness and respond accordingly.
