Protecting Through Technology
• “This system is more flexible and could do the same thing as our $14,000
pole camera system.”
SWAT Officer - Boulder Police Dept.
• “I’ve had to stick my head into many attics looking for suspects, it would
be very nice to stick the camera into the attic instead of my head.”
Patrol Officer - Commerce City Police Dept.
• “Our department’s SWAT team currently uses mirrors to clear corners
and doorways. Our current budgets do not allow us to purchase the more
expensive pole camera systems, this product could be an affordable way
to do this.”
