April 2026

Q1 2026
Global accessibility with Assist
Automatically translate your transcriptions with the help of AI translation. When Assist detects a language being spoken that is not your configured language, it will automatically translate it when the transcript is generated. You can then view the translation, the original transcript or both side-by-side. AI disclaimers are always included for full transparency.
Security you can trust: FedRAMP High Authorization
CommandCentral DEMS now carries FedRAMP High Authorization*, meeting the most rigorous security requirements. You can learn more about DEMS and other Motorola Solutions products that have FedRAMP authorization in this press release.

You can now deploy and manage your V300 body cameras and the 4RE in-car video systems directly in CommandCentral DEMS.
Tailored control for the V700

- Protect your officers in the field by disabling the front LED indicator, allowing them to be in stealth mode during sensitive operations.
Prioritize privacy with SVX Audio Recording Only
Balance operational needs with privacy in CommandCentral DEMS by configuring SVX to capture high-fidelity audio without video. This allows you to gather evidence while supporting privacy requirements.
Peer-assisted recording for M500E

- Voice scrambling: For full redaction, you can scramble speech in video or audio evidence to make both words and voice unintelligible.
- Voice masking: When you need to protect the identity of the speaker but still relay the information shared, use voice masking to easily alter voices in your video or audio evidence while still keeping the dialogue clear and useful.
- Early project opening.
- Visual indication of redacted audio.
- Ability to create a fixed or static mask.
- Ability to add “Reason for Redaction”.
- Ability to switch to a Light or Dark theme.

Synchronize your story with Linked Events
You can now manually link groups of camera recordings that caught the same incident to enable synchronized playback. This provides a more unified view of complex events.
Context at your fingertips
We’ve moved essential file information, notes and created file sections to the right-hand reference pane. This layout helps minimize navigation while still keeping essential metadata visible.
Share with speed and security: Updated Share Manager
- Send your digital evidence to essential work partners via a secure link for quick and easy sharing.

Assisted Narrative
Assisted Narrative can help you build and edit your incident narratives quickly while maintaining accuracy.
