wolfcom body cameras became targeted by counterfeiters. peter had made the mistake of having one factory handle every part of the manufacturing and assembly. all it took was one untrustworthy employee and the wolfcom winning formula was out there for every competitor to see. >> you get people who just start, you know, no morals, no conscience. i mean we lost a huge field in other countries. i spent over $100,000 just on attorneys chasing people. >> reporter: after learning that harsh lesson, peter went to the other extreme. creating too many moving parts to the wolfcom manufacturing process. >> next you know we're dealing with up to 80 vendors, that we have inventory problems. you have everything except one piece, and there's a two month delay, but you've got a customer who ordered 1,000 units. when i did it that way, there's no copycat, but it is a pain in the butt. >> reporter: eventually peter fixed this, too. and by the time he lost his software partner in 2015, he had years of start-up wisdom under his belt. his resilience pushing thr

and building wolfcom had not been easy. >> hands up! >> when peter came up for the concept for the third-eye body camera, he was actually living out his 007 dreams, running a spy shop in hollywood. lapd officers frequently stopped by. >> this one particular officer kept coming back almost every day looking through every product we have. he would always leave empty handed. >> the ever curious peter had to ask, why? >> he says, look at me, i have over 30 pounds of gear on my belt. all over my body. if only you can just put a spy camera or put a camera into something i'm already wearing. that's when i took a look and saw his lapel mic. >> two years later, the wolfcom third eye hit the market, with a camera built right in the lapel mic officers wear. >> we started putting a lot of ideas into this, including gps, night vision, the ability to zoom in and out. >> open the door, please. [ gunfire ] >> we came from that background of electronics, small cameras. that's how we were able to stay in the game. >> keep your hands where i can see them!
