3326: Inside HALOS: How AI and Cameras Are Changing Frontline Safety

In today’s episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Matt Dawes, Head of Enterprise Sales at HALOS, to explore the fast-moving world of security technology and how body-worn cameras are rapidly transforming the way businesses approach accountability, staff safety, and incident response.

HALOS is rethinking body-worn video with a fresh approach that doesn’t stop at hardware. From their subscription-based service model to a real-time AI-powered backend system, their tech stack is designed to meet the growing demands of both frontline teams and the organizations supporting them. During our conversation, Matt shared how the company’s origins during the COVID-19 period shaped its purpose and culture and how it has scaled across the UK, Ireland, and the US following its Series A funding in early 2024.

We explored how HALOS uses AI for proactive threat detection and fall detection, which is still under development, and how their cloud-based platform, Vault, plays a critical role in evidence management and seamless integration with broader security ecosystems. Matt also shared insights into how their system is already making an impact in sectors such as retail, where the focus isn’t solely on theft prevention but also on ensuring frontline workers feel supported and protected against a backdrop of increasing aggression and workplace incidents.

One of the standout aspects of the conversation was HALOS’ pricing model, which offers all features, including panic alerts and live streaming, under one monthly subscription. This structure eliminates the hidden costs that often hinder full deployment, allowing clients to scale their coverage without compromise.

So, how is the security technology space evolving? What role does AI play in improving situational awareness? And how can tech leaders ensure their investment protects people on the ground? Please tune in to hear how HALOS is positioning itself at the intersection of innovation and frontline security.
