Integrated technology for public safety

More capability from the equipment you trust.

Monerus brings trusted technologies together in new ways to solve practical problems for public safety teams. Discover IRIS, our camera-integrated lightbar, and the thinking behind our approach.

IRIS / Camera-integrated lightbar

360-degree awareness. Built into the lightbar.

Available

IRIS integrates four cameras into an emergency lightbar for 360-degree surveillance around the vehicle. The lightbar already on the vehicle now also provides views around it, supporting situational awareness and officer safety.

IRIS is available as a complete lightbar package with associated lighting control hardware. Monerus develops the physical integration. The connected camera platform adds pre-event context, so the lead-up to an incident is kept, and authorized live access, so a supervisor can see what an officer is facing and coordinate support.

Select a part of the system to see its role.

Established equipment. New possibilities.

Agencies already rely on capable technology. We look for ways it can do more by rethinking how products are used and how they work together.

Every idea faces the same test: what would it help an officer or operator do, and how would it fit their vehicle and routine?

IRIS grew from agency interest and a question about the lightbar already on the vehicle. We saw an opportunity to extend its utility beyond warning lights by bringing camera equipment into the same assembly.

  1. 01

    See the possibility.

    Look for useful applications and combinations in established technology.

  2. 02

    Understand the need.

    Connect the idea to a problem the people using it actually face.

  3. 03

    Develop the integration.

    Design the mounting, power and housing so established equipment works in its new role.

Our approach to innovation

Illustrative use case

A useful view where the vehicle is needed.

A stationed vehicle can serve as a mobile viewing point at a community event or road closure. With the required power, connectivity and access, an authorized supervisor can use the available camera feeds to understand activity around the scene.

Illustrative use case. Available feeds and access depend on the configured platform, power and connectivity.

Patrol mobility / Chicago project

300 police bike kits. Built around pedal patrol.

Requirement
Emergency warning lights and a siren for pedal patrol, with no vehicle electrical system to draw on.
Adaptation
Monerus adapted emergency lights for pedal bikes and paired them with an emergency siren and a custom lithium battery.
Delivery
300 kits for the Chicago project, each providing eight hours of continuous use.

Manufacturers and collaborators

New roles for established products.

Monerus looks for uses that established public-safety equipment was not originally designed for, then develops the physical integration: mounting, housing, power and cabling.

If you make cameras, lighting or vehicle equipment, we can discuss:

Combined assemblies
Bringing separate devices into one assembly, as IRIS does with cameras and an emergency lightbar.
New platforms
Adapting a product for a different vehicle or user, as the Chicago kits did for pedal bikes.
Sensing with control
Linking camera input to another device, as Arges Auto-Track does with a spotlight.
