The NYPD has pulled some Vievu body cameras from the streets after an LE-5 model (similar to the LE-3 seen here) exploded on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The New York Police Department removed thousands of officers' body cameras Sunday after one cop's exploded.<\/p>\n

The Staten Island officer was on duty around midnight Sunday when the Vievu LE-5 camera started to smoke, the department wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cop quickly removed the device before it exploded on the ground, avoiding injury. <\/p>\n

An investigation revealed the battery inside the camera was to blame \u2014 a defect made it ignite.<\/p>\n

"The cause and scope of the defect are currently being investigated. All officers assigned LE-5 cameras were instructed to immediately remove the cameras and bring them back to their commands," the department said in its statement.<\/p>\n

There are 2,990 LE-5s in use in 16 precincts, out of a total of 15,500 body cameras in use by NYPD cops. Those equipped with the LE-4, another Vievu model, will continue to use them and officers who had the LE-5 won't have any body camera.<\/p>\n

Vievu beat then-rival Taser to win the $6.4 million NYPD contract<\/a> back in 2016, before Taser rebranded as Axon the following year. Axon bought Vievu in May, essentially giving it dominance over the body camera market, Bloomberg noted<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

Axon didn't immediately respond to a request for further comment on Sunday's incident.<\/p>\n

The global market for security equipment in city surveillance like body cameras topped $3 billion last year and could grow at an average annual rate of 14.6 percent from 2016 to 2021, research showed back in March<\/a>.<\/p>\n
