Work Across Formats

Protect Chain of Custody

Keep all processing local or on approved infrastructure, maintaining evidentiary integrity.

DETECT & REDACT

  • AI models find and blur heads, faces, people, license plates and vehicles in video

  • Mute, beep or scramble sensitive speech in audio clips; blur or pixelate images

REVIEW & EXPORT

  • Operators adjust blur intensity or manually mask any remaining objects, with one mark tracks the object across frames.

  • Export redacted copies while preserving originals for chain‑of‑custody.

INTEGRATE & REPORT

  • API delivers redacted files and metadata back to your evidence system for discovery, court proceedings or public release.

  • Logs and metrics help track FOIA turnaround and support audit requirements.
