Audax launches new Holster Aware Sensor, designed to support and enhance security and emergency services operations in the field

The Audax Holster Aware is a brand-new solution that detects whether a handgun, non-lethal weapon, CED (Conducted Energy Device) or PAVA Spray has been removed from a holster worn by the body worn camera wearer.  This new feature is now available across Audax’s range of pioneering Body Worn Video (BWV) cameras.

Audax have been pioneers in body worn video (BWV) technology for the past few decades. Once again, with the release of the Audax Holster Aware the BWV experts are leading the field with ground-breaking features that will change the way in which security and emergency service workers are protected.

Designed to minimise the number of actions a camera wearer must take, Audax’s Holster Aware Sensor recognises the presence of a firearm (or a non-lethal weapon, CED or PAVA Spray) within a holster and will trigger recording to begin via Bluetooth wireless technology to an Audax Bluetooth-enabled camera if this item is removed or inserted.

Before this technology, these workers would need to press the recording button on their BWV camera in order to capture the event and securely store it, however, if the camera wearer is faced with a situation where they must draw their weapon, the pressing of a button will likely be impossible. However, without this vital recorded evidence, prosecuting criminals can be tricky. That’s why this innovative technology is so important.

With Audax Holster Aware, the officer or security personnel wearing the camera does not need to worry about pressing a button to begin recording, as the removal of the weapon from the holster will do this automatically. This simple action could potentially save crucial time and capture valuable evidence.

Using wireless Bluetooth technology, the sensor pairs and connects to the nearest Audax camera in a 10m range, providing instant recording initiation on the BWV camera. This level of connectivity also enables an audit report to be generated in Audax DEMS to log every instance a sidearm has been drawn from a holster.

Adam Liardet, Managing Director of Audax comment: “At Audax, we are always looking for new ways to enhance operational capability in the field. This innovative new feature was designed to prioritise the safety of the emergency services and security professionals, along with other BWV users.”

Audax – worldwide leaders in Body Worn Video technology – will continue to use their extensive experience and knowledge to develop and advance their products, and increase the safety of those who wear them.

Body Worn Video (BWV) pioneers, Audax, extend commitment to combat climate change

As part of a green agenda, Audax is continuing to work with Be Exhibitions and Mossy Earth to regularly plant trees across Scotland and Ireland to offset their carbon footprint.

Audax recognises that they have a duty to protect our environment. As the world opened up post-pandemic in 2022, members of the team travelled to numerous events across the UK and Europe to showcase the company and its award-winning portfolio of body worn cameras. As in previous years, to offset the travel associated with these events, Be Exhibition and Mossy Earth planted trees on behalf of Audax as part of reforestation projects in Ireland and Scotland.

For example, to offset the carbon footprint of Audax’s exhibition stands in April and May, three trees were planted for a reforestation project in the Scottish Highlands. This project focuses on planting the right trees in the right places, ensuring that native species are planted in areas that are likely to become wild forests. These areas are also protected, so that they can lock up huge amounts of carbon and provide a safe habitat for wildlife, and can be enjoyed by generations to come. (Click here to learn more).

Audax Founder and Managing Director, Adam Liardet commented, “At Audax we believe that despite being a technology company we can actually have a positive impact on the planet, leaving it better than when we found it. We’re proud to be involved with a number of initiatives aimed at supporting people, places and the planet – from anti-agression campaigns that protect emergency workers to these projects with Be Exhibitions and Mossy Earth.”

Like Audax, the Mossy Earth team is passionate about the preservation of our natural world. They fight climate change by restoring nature on behalf of their members, with an incredibly important mission – to restore wild ecosystems, support wildlife and biodiversity, and help fight climate change.

Looking ahead to 2023, Audax will continue to support that mission as part of their efforts to actively reduce their carbon footprint and prioritise the environment.

Audax renews their sponsorship as Headline Prime Sponsor for Ambulanciersunie in 2023 for the third consecutive year.

As a union that works to protect and improve the interests of paramedics working in Belgium, Ambulanciersunie are an important cause that Audax are pleased to lend their support to for the third consecutive year as The Headline Prime Sponsor.

Ambulanciersunie campaign for a better future for all their members including all 112 paramedics and ambulances and the non-emergency patient transport workers.

Ambulanciersunie work hard to deliver their four key goals, which include protecting the rights and interests of paramedics, encouraging the provision of more financial resources for the ambulance service, and to provide high-quality training and better working conditions.

In 2021, a survey found that 70% of paramedics feared for their safety while at work. With stats like this in mind, The Audax team believes that aggression towards ambulance members should be dealt with severely by the courts, and that Audax body worn camera video evidence aids in the provision of a “gold standard of evidence” to prove cases when this does unfortunately occur.

Primarily Body worn Video is used to increase the safety of frontline workers by deescalating confrontations and for the gathering of impartial, accurate evidence that can be used to educate, inform or prosecute. BWV also improves transparency in terms of relationships with the public, while also reducing offender complaints and speeding up the administration of justice.

Audax understands the severity of the issues that these workers face, and the pressure

they’re put under daily. That’s why Audax has been working closely with Ambulanciersunie since 2019, providing them with support and advice around the benefits and use of body cameras for private and organisational use in the French, Dutch and German speaking regions across Belgium. As we move into 2023, Audax will continue to be the Unions Headline Prime Sponsor and supporting their great work.

Manging Director of Audax, Adam Liardet stated, “Audax are delighted to be renewing our sponsorship with Ambulanciersunie, helping them to deliver and improve the working conditions of their members. Protecting those on the front line is something we’re incredibly passionate about and providing our support and subject matter knowledge to protect those in the Belgium ambulance service is so important to us. We’re honoured to be protecting those who work tirelessly to protect us.”
