KUSTOM ENTERTAINMENT'S DIGITAL ALLY BRAND SECURES MULTI-YEAR BODY CAMERA SUBSCRIPTION WITH PREMIER KANSAS CITY BASED HEALTH SYSTEM
INITIAL DEPLOYMENT INCLUDES 68 FIRSTVU PRO CAMERAS; MARKS ENTRY INTO ONE OF THE NATION'S LARGEST INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEMS
OVERLAND PARK, KS, March 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kustom Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:KUST) ("Kustom Entertainment" or the "Company"), today announced that its legacy video solutions business, operating under the Digital Ally brand, has secured a notable three-year subscription order from a leading health system in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The system is a member of one of the largest non-profit integrated health systems serving the United States.
The order consists of a hardware component including 68 FirstVu Pro body-worn cameras and 9 docking systems coupled with a cloud-based service component with an initial three-year subscription contract. This deployment is part of a strategic initiative by the health system to enhance the security, safety, and protection of its patients, employees, and guests by documenting interactions between security personnel and the public, as well as providing objective records of unusual events within the clinical environment.
"The decision by this premier health system to equip their security teams with our FirstVu Pro technology underscores the growing demand for accountability and safety in the healthcare sector," said Stanton E. Ross, CEO of Kustom Entertainment. "While our primary corporate focus has shifted toward live entertainment and on-line ticketing, our legacy video business continues to deliver world-class safety solutions to premier institutions. We are proud to support the health system's mission to provide a safe environment for care."
Scale and Strategic Reach
The Kansas City-based health system serves as the western region for the consolidated nationwide health system. This combined entity operates 24 hospitals, employs nearly 48,000 people, generates over $12 billion in annual revenue and serves as a top-tier non-profit health provider in the United States. The initial 68-camera order represents a foundational deployment that the Company believes may expand to cover the broader hospital system as security protocols are standardized across the combined health system footprint.
