How Motorola’s ecosystem improves safety and security | BAYCOM

Written by Scott Johnson | January 15, 2026

Many schools, hospitals, businesses, and public safety agencies struggle with fragmented security systems that don’t communicate with one another, leaving critical gaps in awareness and response.

You may already have two-way radios, access control systems, or video surveillance. But these technologies should work together to alert safety teams, law enforcement, and staff if a breach or active threat arises.

That’s why BAYCOM partners with Motorola Solutions to offer an ecosystem of communication and detection systems. Below are a few examples of ecosystem components, followed by an overview and use case scenario of how they work together, seamlessly.

MOTOTRBO Two-way radios

Communicate instantly and discreetly with encrypted two-way radios, and receive automated alerts. MOTOTRBO radios also featured man-down and GPS tracking for an added layer of security and safety.

AI-powered video security & access control systems

Fixed and body-worn cameras capture and record incidents with crystal clear detail, and Motorola Solutions Avigilon video security and analytics detect suspicious activities, sending automated alerts to pre-defined security and command center personnel. Video security is integrated with intelligent access control systems, providing secure, documented entry using card readers, PINs, biometric scanners, and other identification methods.

LPR (License Plate Recognition)

Identify vehicles belonging to suspects or known threats using license plate recognition technology. Technology can also identify a vehicle’s make, model, year, and color. Automatically send alerts to security when a vehicle belonging to a known threat enters a property. 

Command center software & dispatch management

Monitor multiple sites, manage dispatch, and streamline incident response by integrating real-time voice, video, and data to help teams make informed decisions and coordinate resources quickly and efficiently. Software also serves as an evidence capture tool.

How does the Motorola ecosystem work?

Motorola Solutions’ integrated ecosystem gives organizations a unified, real-time picture of what’s happening across their environment. Information flows seamlessly between devices and command centers, enabling teams to:

Detect threats

Integrated video security, body-worn cameras, access control, LPR, alerts, and watch-list tools provide broad visibility, helping teams monitor large areas, verify alarms, and spot perimeter breaches or security gaps

Analyze data

AI-powered analytics recognize important events, such as unusual behavior, slips and falls, or the appearance of a person of interest, so teams can quickly determine the appropriate action

Communicate more clearly

Two-way radios, broadband push-to-talk, dispatch software, and other connected devices ensure real-time situational awareness, allowing information to move instantly across teams, enabling rapid collaboration and coordinated responses

Respond faster

Data from all technologies is aggregated and shared directly with first responders, improving situational awareness and enabling faster, more informed decisions when every second counts

Incident management software also consolidates data from the various technologies into a single case file, supporting follow-up and providing liability protection. In the case of a criminal investigation, all captured evidence is securely organized and documented for prosecution and defense teams. 

Armed with accurate data and embedded analytics, the technologies can also reveal trends to inform better planning and proactive decision-making going forward.

Motorola Solutions ecosystem use case scenario

What might a unified ecosystem look like in action? Consider this hypothetical scenario.

  • An armed gunman exits their vehicle and approaches the entrance of a busy emergency room at a hospital
  • Video security captures the appearance of the offender and uses AI-powered sensors to detect the weapon
  • Automated alerts using predefined protocols are activated, including:
    • Dispatching security to the scene with the intruder's image and location in hand
    • Notifying law enforcement with live video feeds
    • Issuing a lockdown and sending mass notifications to hospital personnel across two-way radios and smartphones
    • Staff and law enforcement are kept informed until the issue is resolved
  • LPR technology and video surveillance identify the gunman’s vehicle in the parking lot, allowing law enforcement to securely search the vehicle for additional contraband or threats

Leveraging the technologies in our ecosystem, staff and first responders are better enabled to detect, respond, and resolve a potentially dangerous situation.
