Body-worn camera partnership

by Mark Rowe

Mercury Security Management, the Northern Ireland-based company, has a new partnership with a manufacturer of body-worn cameras. Belfast-based Pinnacle Response specialises in the production of body-worn cameras for use by police forces and the security sector. The company’s cameras, including the recently launched PR6, have been sold in over 30 countries and boast the likes of Rolls Royce and Chelsea Football Club among their clients.

Mercury, based in Lisburn with offices in Dublin, Limerick and London, will provide its security staff with the body-worn cameras, as well as use Pinnacle’s Digital Evidence Management System, which allows footage to be managed and uploaded securely to a server. As the firms say, body-worn cameras have become increasingly prevalent in the security world in recent times due to their portability and use as a deterrent and means of deescalating tense situations.

Francis Cullen, Director at Mercury Security Management, said: “Pinnacle Response is undoubtedly one of the leading manufacturers of body-worn cameras in the world and we are delighted to announce our new strategic partnership. We have invested more than £5 million in the last decade into the latest technology and training available to us, so we can provide innovative, holistic security solutions to our ever growing list of clients. This partnership with Pinnacle Response represents a continued pledge to ensure our clients are provided with the best security solutions available on the market,” added Mr Cullen.

Mercury reports it’s having a busy year as it’s working for household names including Harvey Norman, Castlecourt Shopping Centre, Smyth’s Toys, Lifestyle Sports and HMV.

Alan Whitley, Sales Director at Pinnacle Response, said: “At Pinnacle Response, we have carefully developed our body-worn camera solutions to provide exceptional HD audio visual quality with industry leading durability. We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Mercury Security Management, which we are confident will ensure further protection and security for their clients across the island of Ireland.”
