Mounts, harnesses, spares and cases for every camera we supply. The mount sets the lens height, and lens height is what decides whether a face is in frame at two metres. Send us what your officers wear and we will come back with a gear list.
Three attachment systems cover the whole range. A camera is committed to one of them at the point of order, so it is the first thing we establish.
A stud on the camera, a dock on the uniform. One dock accepts any Klick Fast device, so a camera and a radio can share a fixing.
The mount bolts straight to the camera back plate. Fewer parts and a slimmer profile, but the plate is chosen when the camera is ordered.
The brand fits its own clip or base adapter. It works with that brand only, and on some cameras the adapter goes on before any harness will attach.
Every camera we supply ships with a clip. That covers carrying it. Recording properly takes a mount picked against the uniform, plus the spares and the case that go on the same order.
A steel plate sits behind the fabric with the dock in front. The garment is never pierced, so uniforms come back unmarked at the end of a contract. It holds by friction, so we do not specify it for officers who expect to be grabbed.
Best for Plain clothes and soft uniforms
Motorola KF-MAGMOUNT2, VB-400-VF-MAG. Hytera BC54-2 with the POA211 adapter.
Straps over both shoulders and around the ribs, with the camera centred on the sternum. The lens then sits at the same height every shift, whatever has gone on over the top. A four-point version adds a waist strap, which stops the camera riding up when the officer runs.
Best for Officers who change outer layers
Motorola KF-HARN3, KF-HARN4, VB400-VF-HARN4. Hytera NCN031, POA211 required.
One strap over the shoulder, camera above the chest line. The front of the torso stays clear for a plate carrier, a radio harness or a seat belt. Framing sits higher and off centre, which suits a counter or a vehicle window.
Best for Seated roles, counters and checkpoints
Motorola KF-HARN5. Hytera NCN025, POA211 required.
The lens follows the wearer’s head. In our range the Xignal M540 is built for this: the camera head mounts on the helmet and the battery unit stays on the belt, which keeps head weight down over a shift. Adding mass to a certified helmet can affect its certification, so we check the helmet before quoting a mount.
Best for Motorcycle, marine and rescue
Xignal M540 native mount. Klick Fast DOCKHELMETPIC on a Picatinny rail.
Weaves into the PALS webbing on a plate carrier or load-bearing vest, so no part of it is clipped to fabric. The double-width version spreads the load across two columns of webbing and stops the camera rotating under load.
Best for Tactical response and port inspection
Motorola KF-MOLLEVEST, VB-400-VF-MOL1-HR, VB-400-VF-MOL2.
Ships with most cameras, which is why it often gets treated as the whole answer. Worn on a belt the lens points at the ground, and at anything under two metres it frames a torso. Use it to move the camera between tasks and specify a mount for the recording itself.
Best for Carrying, not for recording
Motorola V500-ALIG, KF-DOCK05BVELCRO. Hytera and Xignal ship their own.
Spare count follows the shift pattern. Where a camera takes a second cell the officer swaps mid-shift and never has to return to base, and where there is a bridge cell the recording continues through the change. Four of our nine models are sealed, so those are covered by docking instead.
Best for Shifts longer than the rated runtime
Swappable on the M535, M530 and SC880. Sealed on the M508, M520, V200 and V500.
Two different things get called a case. A pouch protects a single unit on a belt or in a bag between shifts. A transport case is foam cut for the cameras, the spares, the mounts and a portable dock, so a team can stand up at a border post or an event and stand down again with the same inventory count.
Best for Temporary and pooled deployments
Specified against the kit list rather than the camera. Foam cut to your issue set.
Start from what the officer is wearing, including the layer that goes on over the top halfway through a shift. In most fleets the camera is standard across roles and the mount is what varies.
Both Hytera smart cameras take the POA211 base adapter before any harness will attach, and the Motorola cameras are ordered with a backing that fixes which family of mounts they accept. Check the row before you commit a quantity.

A Confirm is a pairing the manufacturer does not publish, so we check it against a sample. Send us the models you are running and we will return this table filled in.
A mount is a mechanical part and it fails in mechanical ways. These are the things that decide whether a fixing is still in service a year after handover.
Five steps, and the order matters. Everything downstream depends on getting the first two right, which is why no product code appears until the end.
What is actually worn, role by role, including the layer that goes on over it halfway through a shift. Shirts, plate carriers, hi-vis, coveralls and helmets each answer differently, and most teams run more than one.
Which system each camera in the fleet is on, and whether an adapter has to be fitted before anything else will attach. A Hytera needs its base adapter and a Motorola has to be ordered with the right backing. This is the step that gets missed.
Mounts per officer is usually more than one, because a second on a spare uniform keeps the camera in service through a laundry cycle. Spare batteries come from the shift pattern, and cases from the size of the deployment.
A sample set on real officers for a week before the full order. It is the only reliable way to find out that a harness sits on top of a radio strap, and it costs very little next to reissuing a whole fleet.
An as-issued record per officer: camera serial, mount type and spares. When someone leaves, the kit comes back against the same record and goes out again to the next officer.
What buyers ask once the cameras are chosen and the gear list is not.
For carrying, no. For recording, almost always. A clip worn on a belt points the lens at the ground, and at conversational distance it frames a torso. Anything you intend to rely on in a hearing needs a chest or shoulder mount.
No, and you should not. The camera stays the same and the mount changes per role. That is the point of a stud and dock system: one camera moves between a chest harness, a vest mount and a magnetic mount without any of them being refitted.
It follows the shift pattern. If the shift sits inside the rated runtime, none, and docking covers it. If it runs past, one spare per officer per overlap. Four of our nine models are sealed and cannot take a spare at all, so those are covered with more docking.
The harnesses and vest mounts often will, because they are built around a common dock. The part that attaches to the camera will not: Hytera needs its POA211 base adapter, Motorola is ordered with a backing, and Xignal ships its own clip. Plan for shared harnesses and per-brand fittings.
The camera models you are running or considering, the number of officers per role, and a photograph of the uniform each role wears. That is enough for a first list, and a trial fit confirms it.
Yes. Mounts, harnesses, cases and spares are separate line items and none of them need the camera to go back. The one exception is the Motorola backing, which is chosen when the camera is ordered, so settle that before the fleet ships.
Tell us what your officers wear, how many there are in each role and which cameras you are running. We will come back with a mount per role, spare and case quantities, and the adapters that have to go on the same order.
