After selling Netpoint in 2001, he became CEO of Intermountain IT. Haynes' background as a Cisco security professional enabled Intermountain IT to specialize in bank and medical records security, HIPAA and GBL compliance and IT consulting. After consulting with EHS Inc. and offering his expertise as a member of the board of directors he was named CEO of EHS in January 2011.

VIDMIC was founded in 2001 and was the first company in the United States to bring to market an officer-worn video system. With thousands of units used by first responders, patrolmen, soldiers, and others in the field, it continues to lead the industry today.

The company has also initiated a new channel partner program to provide better local customer support for VIDMIC clients. VIDMIC will launch a certification program to ensure its channel partners will be able to provide a broad depth of service for clients.

The VIDMIC product line is segmented into three main categories:

  • VIDMIC—The award-winning, officer-worn video camera located in an officer's shoulder microphone. The VIDMIC body-worn video system does not add any additional equipment to the uniform.

  • VidVault—The advanced file management software which protects the chain of custody of evidence with multiple safeguards such as embedded date and time stamp, serial number recognition, coded entries, supervisor's audit trail and other features to maintain admissibility in court.

  • Ear Hugger—The company's line of popular headphones, two-way communications headsets and shoulder microphones.
