After 14 years with other body cameras, Achilleus Security
 chose HALOS – here's why.

Overview

Achilleus Security specializes in security, stewarding, and crowd management for major sporting events, including the Premier League, EFL Championship, Champions League, and large-scale cycling and road races. With a deep commitment to safety, Achilleus was an early adopter of body-worn cameras, recognizing their potential to provide indisputable evidence and enhance security operations. However, after 14 years of using various body camera solutions, they faced persistent challenges—until they found HALOS.

Problem

Achilleus Security had been using body-worn cameras since 2010, evolving alongside the technology. Initially, they adopted early models that required separate recording packs before transitioning to newer, more integrated solutions. However, despite years of investment in body cameras from multiple vendors—including those designed for law enforcement—they consistently ran into limitations that impacted their ability to effectively manage security at large-scale events. Cloud connectivity remained unreliable, making it difficult to store and access crucial footage efficiently. Meanwhile, front-facing cameras proved to be more of a liability than an asset, as people tended to modify their behavior when they saw themselves being recorded.

Beyond technology frustrations, Achilleus also struggled with the financial side of body camera deployment. Many providers required expensive add-ons or complex service agreements that made it difficult to plan budgets effectively. What seemed like a simple purchase often turned into a complicated investment with unpredictable costs. As Achilleus expanded their operations across major sporting venues, it became clear that their existing solutions weren’t delivering the reliability, scalability, or ease of use they needed.

“The whole principle is making it as easy as possible to operate in what will normally be an emotional, high-risk situation.”

Solution

To resolve these challenges, Achilleus Security turned to HALOS, deploying a complete solution that combined HALOS Body Cameras with the HALOS Vault, a cloud-based evidence management system. Unlike previous solutions, HALOS provided a seamless, all-in-one approach that was easy to implement and immediately effective in the field. Within minutes of distributing the new cameras, staff members were using them confidently—without technical barriers or operational slowdowns.

With HALOS, video and audio files were uploaded automatically via Wi-Fi, ensuring secure and immediate storage without the connectivity issues of past solutions. Instead of juggling files across multiple devices, Achilleus now had a single, centralized source of digital evidence, protected in the cloud with unlimited storage and automated retention policies. More importantly, the HALOS pricing model eliminated the frustration of hidden costs. With a simple monthly subscription covering hardware, storage, and software, Achilleus finally had a solution that was both scalable and predictable.

Results

By switching to HALOS, Achilleus Security experienced immediate improvements across their operations:

• Enhanced Staff Confidence – Team members felt safer and more assured when dealing with high-risk situations.
• Stronger Legal Protection – A single source of truth reduced the risk of nuisance claims and disputes.
• Simple, Transparent Pricing – The all-in-one subscription model from HALOS made it easy to scale and budget for future needs.
