10-8 Video

What 10-8 Video does

10-8 Video Systems, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned LLC founded in 2008 and headquartered in Fayetteville, Tennessee. The company designs, manufactures, and sells the Arsenal product line of digital evidence hardware, including an in-vehicle Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) system, the MK2 body-worn camera, and an on-premise CJIS-aligned evidence storage server, sold exclusively to US law enforcement agencies. Its core technology stack combines solid-state MDVR hardware, a Linux-based secure OS, AES-256 encryption with a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic engine, and bit-for-bit hash verification intended to support courtroom-grade chain of custody. Marketing positions the company explicitly against subscription-based competitors (notably Axon) on the basis of a no-contract, one-time purchase model with agency-owned equipment and data.

The company operates a direct sales motion, primarily targeting small-to-mid-sized police departments and sheriffs' offices across 48 states. All revenue is generated from one-time hardware purchases (with optional accessories such as a $199 Remote Activation Kit and separate extended-warranty/maintenance services); there are no recurring software or cloud-storage fees. Distribution is entirely direct with no resellers, supported by a 24-48 hour quote turnaround, RFP and grant-application assistance, and a content-marketing funnel (blog, YouTube training library, email, case studies). The company claims 3,000+ agencies served, 17 years of operation, and 99.9% field-reliability targeting, with no external institutional funding and no public disclosure of revenue or financial metrics. The single disclosed member of management is the founder, a retired Deputy, K-9 Handler, and Narcotics Investigator, and the business is described in its own materials as LEO owned and operated.

Core offering

10-8 Video designs, manufactures and sells the Arsenal line of judicial-grade law enforcement video evidence systems, including MDVR-based in-car video systems, professional body cameras, and on-premise evidence storage servers. Products are sold directly to U.S. police departments, sheriff's offices and public safety agencies on a one-time purchase basis with no contracts, no monthly fees and lifetime software updates. The offering emphasizes CJIS-aligned encryption, FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography, and bit-for-bit evidence integrity for courtroom admissibility.

Product overview

10-8 Video provides a unified ecosystem of law enforcement digital evidence solutions built around the Arsenal product line. The core portfolio consists of three integrated products: the Arsenal In-Car Video System (MDVR for patrol vehicles), the Arsenal MK2 Body Camera (officer-worn evidence capture), and the Arsenal Storage Server (on-premise evidence management). These products are designed to work together as a complete evidence lifecycle solution, with the in-car system supporting remote activation of body cameras and Wi-Fi offload to the storage server. The company also offers multi-camera channel expansion modules for additional vehicle coverage and has legacy products (BC-1, BC-2, HD4SD) for existing customers. All products emphasize a one-time purchase ownership model with no recurring subscription fees, AES-256 encryption, FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography, and CJIS-aligned deployment options.

Direct peers

• Axon Enterprise: The dominant US provider of body cameras (Axon Body), in-car video (Axon Fleet), digital evidence management (Axon Evidence), and TASER conducted energy weapons. Direct competitor to 10-8 Video across all three Arsenal product categories and the principal alternative 10-8 pitches against on price and ownership model.
• Digital Ally: US-based manufacturer of body cameras (FirstVu, ThermoVu) and in-car video systems for law enforcement. Comparable product categories and customer base to 10-8 Video, with overlapping focus on smaller and mid-sized agencies seeking alternatives to Axon.
• Getac Video Solutions: Provider of rugged in-car video systems and body-worn cameras (Body-Worn Camera VR-X) integrated with evidence management software. Directly competes with 10-8's Arsenal in-car and body camera offerings for patrol vehicle and officer-worn deployments.
• Coban Technologies: Specializes in in-car video systems, body cameras, and dash cameras for law enforcement, transit, and commercial fleets. Comparable product mix and mid-market agency focus to 10-8 Video's Arsenal lineup.
• Utility Associates: Provides body-worn cameras, in-car video, and BodyVision evidence management software for law enforcement. Comparable hardware-plus-software positioning for US agencies evaluating alternatives to subscription-based vendors.

Broad incumbents

• Motorola Solutions (WatchGuard / VaaS): Acquired WatchGuard Video and VaaS International Holdings to build a law enforcement video and body camera portfolio (Si Series body cameras, 4RE in-car). Competes with 10-8 across in-car and body cameras, with broader public safety software and command suite integration.
• Panasonic (Public Safety / Arbitrator): Long-standing provider of in-car video systems (Arbitrator) and public safety hardware. Competes with 10-8's Arsenal In-Car Video System, particularly for larger agencies with existing Panasonic relationships.
• L3Harris Technologies (Mobile-Vision): Through the Mobile-Vision product line (now L3Harris), provides body-worn and in-car video solutions for public safety. Overlaps with 10-8 in hardware categories and competes for larger agency contracts.

Regional players

Others

• Mark43: Cloud-native public safety software platform (CAD, RMS, analytics) that increasingly integrates with body camera and in-car video vendors. Adjacent ecosystem participant whose integrations affect 10-8's ability to land larger, cloud-oriented agency contracts.
