While specifically designed to be worn under clothing, it can be comfortably and effectively worn over clothing as well.

Security management system
SureView Systems announces its new investigative and record management service platform: Cases. Cases’ simple, flexible, and open architecture is developed specifically for security operation teams.

This information is shared with investigators to provide an immediate understanding of the nature of any event. Cases is available as a part of the SureView Operations suite or as a stand-alone subscription service. Delivered as a SaaS (software-as-a-service), there are no upfront costs.

The tactical robotics suite from Sky-Hero, Aardvark Tactical, and PROJECT7 ARMOR offers the new SIGYN Mk1 Recon System, a compact, throwable robot. SIGYN Mk1 is an operator friendly robot that provides teams with scouting through two ultra-sensitive Day-Night cameras. While 150-degree views allow for an impressive scope, dimmable IR LEDs on the front, back, and top provide video clarity and NVG lighting. SIGYN Mk1 is purpose built with aviation-grade carbon fiber and reinforced with polycarbonate frames for a rugged but lightweight build, allowing the operator to deploy the bot with a single-handed throw. It seamlessly integrates into the Sky-Hero Tactical Robotics Suite.
