Nationwide deployment will enhance awareness, safety and operational efficiency CHICAGO, July 31, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced that it has been selected by the Ministry of the Interior in Bulgaria to deploy 13,400 body cameras to the country's National Police Service. The nationwide rollout will help to foster transparency in law enforcement operations, deliver real-time field intelligence to police control rooms and enhance the safety of both the public and officers in Bulgaria. The deployment of V500 body cameras addresses community expectations for greater transparency and efficiency in police operations and will help accelerate and improve the force's response to everyday incidents and emergencies. "These new body cameras are a pivotal element in our digitalization strategy to modernize policing and elevate how we safeguard and serve our communities," said Daniel Mitov, Minister of the Interior in Bulgaria. "This investment underscores our commitment to promoting trust and transparency in our law enforcement operations while enhancing the real-time visibility and collaboration between our officers in the field and our control room personnel. We're proud of these significant steps forward in creating a safer Bulgaria for everyone to enjoy." "Front-line teams often operate in high-stress environments where their focus must remain entirely on the situation at hand," said Axel Kukuk, vice president, Sales Europe, Motorola Solutions. "Body cameras enable eyes-on-scene for greater clarity as events unfold, while helping to create a reliable and accurate record of critical events. Bulgaria's nationwide deployment is yet another exemplary model for how this technology can drive safer and more secure outcomes for all." The National Police Service will deploy the cameras alongside Motorola Solutions' VideoManager evidence management software, empowering officers to effortlessly upload, securely store and efficiently manage video footage as part of the agency's existing daily workflows. The LTE-enabled V500 body cameras also seamlessly integrate with Motorola Solutions' MXP600 TETRA radios, which Bulgarian police officers already rely on for voice communication. With a press of the emergency button on their radios, officers can call for assistance while simultaneously streaming live footage from their body cameras to the control room, providing multiple streams of information and greater situational awareness to command staff. Bulgaria's National Police Service joins a growing network of public safety organizations across Europe that rely on Motorola Solutions' body camera solutions. These include the French National Police and Gendarmerie, the Lithuanian Border Guard Service, German federal state police forces, and many other public safety organisations across the U.K., Belgium and Romania.

Google smartwatch can now warn users about earthquakes before they hit
Google's earthquake detection feature, which has been available on Android phones for some time now, is coming to wearables powered by Wear OS, as per Google System Release Notes. First spotted by the Android Authority, the new feature will alert Wear OS users by prompting them about an incoming earthquake, right on their wrists. As already mentioned, Google's earthquake detection feature has been around on Android smartphones since August 2020. The service has gradually expanded to more regions over the years, with India joining the list of supported regions in September way the earthquake detection system works is actually quite clever. Instead of relying only on dedicated seismometers, Google uses motion sensors that are already available on millions of Android smartphones across the world. When several phones in one area detect ground shaking at the same time, Google's servers quickly analyse the data to figure out if it's an earthquake. If it is, the system can send out an early warning to nearby users before the shaking reaches them. These alerts typically show the estimated magnitude and how far you are from the epicentre. In situations where time is critical, even a few seconds' notice can help people move to safety or take this same alert system is expected to make its way to smartwatches running on Wear OS. According to Google's latest System Release Notes, users will receive alerts on their smartwatches when shaking is expected in their area. This means that even if your phone isn't nearby or is on silent, your smartwatch could still notify you of an incoming earthquake, directly on your wrist. And for those who use LTE-enabled watches without carrying a phone, this could be even more What the alerts will look like on the smartwatch is not officially confirmed yet, but they are expected to be similar to those on Android phones. That means you might see the estimated magnitude of the quake, along with the distance to the epicentre. Depending on the severity of the earthquake, the alerts can also vary — lighter shaking will result in a simple warning that doesn't disturb your current settings, while stronger quakes can trigger a louder alert with visual warnings, even if Do Not Disturb mode is kind of feature is especially helpful for people living in earthquake-prone regions. While it can't prevent a disaster, having just a few seconds of advance warning can make a big difference. Whether it's enough time to get under a table, move away from a window, or just mentally prepare yourself, those seconds said, there's still no official word on when this feature will be available in India. Just like with Android phones, it's possible that the rollout could be gradual, starting with select regions and expanding over time. Whether it arrives as part of a major update or through smaller background changes remains to be seen. But once it's live, it will definitely be one of the more meaningful features available on a smartwatch.
