Motorola Solutions and Google Let Android Users Share Live Video with 911 in Seconds

Key Terms

public safety answering points technical

Public safety answering points are the local call centers that receive emergency calls (like 911) and coordinate police, fire, and medical responders. They matter to investors because companies that build, upgrade, or service these centers provide critical communications equipment and software whose contracts, regulatory mandates, and technology refresh cycles can drive steady revenue and impact public safety spending. Think of them as the traffic control hubs for emergency response.

deferred stock unit financial

A deferred stock unit (DSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee or director the value of a share at a future date, paid in actual shares or cash when certain conditions are met (such as retirement or a set date). Think of it like a gift card that converts to company stock later; it aligns pay with long‑term performance and can affect future share count, compensation expense and potential cash needs, so investors watch DSUs for their impact on dilution and company finances.

remaining performance obligations financial

Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.

Form 4 regulatory

Form 4 is a official document that company insiders, such as executives or major shareholders, file with regulators whenever they buy or sell company shares. It provides transparency about how those with inside knowledge are trading, helping investors see if insiders are confident in the company's prospects or may be selling for personal reasons. This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.

Schedule 13G regulatory

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

New "one-click" integration allows callers to show 911 call handlers their emergency to guide life-saving action

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) and Google today announced a new innovation in emergency response: Android users can now share live video with 911 call handlers within seconds of connecting the call. Motorola Solutions’ 911 command center software - which is used by approximately 60% of North America’s public safety answering points (PSAPs) - now integrates with Google’s Android Emergency Live Video, so callers can let first responders see their emergency with a single click.

“Visual context can change the entire trajectory of an emergency response, whether it’s coaching a parent on the Heimlich maneuver for a choking child or providing a lifeline during a home invasion when it’s unsafe to speak but the video can speak for you,” said Todd Piett, senior vice president of Command Center Software, Motorola Solutions. “We’re collaborating with Google to deploy this to PSAPs across North America at scale, giving 911 the eyes they need to help you when seconds count.”

Previously, sharing video with 911 was a multi-step process involving complex permission prompts, barriers that cost precious time in a crisis. The new Android Emergency Live Video integration streamlines these steps. Users receive a single confirmation prompt, allowing them to stream live video to the call handler in seconds from the moment the call is answered.

This livestream integrates directly into Motorola Solutions’ VESTA 911 and VESTA NXT software, which can inform dispatchers of who to send to the scene and can be forwarded via mobile app to police, fire or EMS units en route, so they arrive with better information, prepared to act quickly.

The integration includes features designed for both privacy and responder well-being. Agencies can set incoming videos to blur by default, allowing call handlers to unblur the videos as appropriate.

Android users are enrolled in Android Emergency Live Video as part of the standard terms of their operating system. The feature is encrypted by default and users are always in control of whether their video is shared. They can stop sharing instantly at any time by terminating the video stream without affecting the 911 call audio connection or by declining the prompt at the start of a 911 call.
