Chicago-based Motorola Solutions, a 2011 spinoff of Motorola Inc. that provides safety and security service and products, has acquired Salt Lake City’s Blue Eye.
Blue Eye provides comprehensive remote video monitoring (RVM) services powered by AI to help detect threats in real time, enabling live voice “talk-downs” to deter crime and provide verified alerts to help accelerate law enforcement response. The company’s software platform is interoperable with leading cameras and video management systems (VMS), allowing enterprises to integrate with existing security solutions.
RVM services are managed by 24-hour security operations centers that provide businesses with enhanced situational awareness and includes reporting analytics that highlight activity trends.
“Blue Eye’s purpose is to deliver proactive, real-time security and business optimization. Joining Motorola Solutions allows us to accelerate this mission,” said Steve Jackson, CEO of Blue Eye. “Motorola Solutions’ global scale and deep AI expertise will help expand our reach, advance our solutions and deepen our impact on enterprise security.”
“Security professionals know that the challenge isn’t solely identifying the threat; it’s about moving from detection to action in a matter of seconds,” said Mahesh Saptharishi, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Motorola Solutions. “The acquisition of Blue Eye is a key component of our strategic focus to provide a single, tightly integrated workflow that seamlessly connects threat detection, verification and response.”
Motorola Solutions plans to integrate its advanced AI capabilities into Blue Eye’s RVM platform, further differentiating that technology. It also plans to expand Blue Eye’s reach across key enterprise sectors through Motorola Solutions’ channel partner network.
