Motorola Solutions Acquires Blue Eye

Motorola Solutions today announced it has acquired Blue Eye, a leading provider of AI-powered enterprise remote video monitoring (RVM) services, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Blue Eye provides a comprehensive RVM service powered by AI to help detect threats in real time, enabling live voice talk-downs to deter crime and providing 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.

These RVM services are managed by 24-hour security operations centers (SOCs) that provide businesses with enhanced situational awareness and includes reporting analytics that highlight activity trends.

“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, 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."

Relied upon by retail, warehouse, manufacturing and distribution centers, critical infrastructure, and commercial real estate owners, Blue Eye’s platform helps business owners access real-time intelligence to help reduce loss or damage, mitigate risk and enhance profitability.

Motorola Solutions plans to integrate its advanced AI capabilities into Blue Eye's RVM platform, further differentiating this technology. For example, an AI-powered detection from Motorola Solutions’ Visual Alerts can be verified by Blue Eye and fed directly into our incident management platform, Inform, to automatically orchestrate a response. Additionally, the company plans to expand Blue Eye’s reach across key enterprise sectors through Motorola Solutions’ channel partner network.

“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, 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.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
