01 / The bottleneck

Cameras everywhere. Time, nowhere.

Agencies have more video than ever: every patrol cruiser, every public camera, every business that shares footage. But reviewing it is still done one frame at a time, by hand, by people who should be working the case.

BEFORE EDGETRACE
  • Each camera reviewed manually, frame-by-frame
  • Critical evidence missed or surfaced days too late
  • Investigative leads stale before review completes
  • Patrol footage, public cams, and business video sit in silos
WITH EDGETRACE
  • Every connected camera searchable in plain language
  • Match-ranked results with timestamps and clip exports
  • Chain of custody preserved from query to export
  • Same query runs across cruisers, cams, and shared feeds
02 / How it works

Three steps. No model tuning.

EdgeTrace runs alongside your existing VMS, then phases it out when you’re ready. Connect the cameras you already operate, index in place, and start querying: no separate camera fleet, no proprietary hardware, no labeling.

01

Connect

Plug into your existing VMS, NVR, or shared cloud: Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, S3. Indexing runs on-prem on an EdgeTrace appliance. Footage never leaves your network.

02

Ask

“White Tacoma, ladder rack, between 2 and 4 a.m.” Query in plain English across the full camera fleet and time window. Results return ranked with match scores and timestamps.

03

Hand off

Export clips with full chain-of-custody metadata. Auto-redact bystanders. Share to detectives, prosecutors, or partner agencies with a single link that respects your data-sharing policy.

03 / In the field

The radio call you’d expect from someone on the floor.

Behavior search: describe an action, not just an object. EdgeTrace flags it the moment it happens and follows the subject camera to camera.

BEHAVIOR ALERT · 26-01182
› person reaching into the baggage carousel
A
Behaviors, not keywords
Reaching over a belt, loitering past a threshold, entering against flow: described in plain English, no rules engine to configure.
B
Anchored to the facility
Detections are placed on your building model, so an alert arrives as a location, not a camera number.
C
Restricted zones
Draw a zone once: the belt, the trackbed, the tarmac line. Any person or object crossing it is flagged with the clip attached.
D
Alert to evidence
The moment of the behavior is bookmarked, scored, and audit-logged: ready for review, export, or dispatch.
04 / Built for the role

One tool. Four operating tempos.

EdgeTrace adapts to the question being asked: live, retrospective, strategic, or cross-jurisdictional.

RTCC ANALYST

Live intelligence during the call.

Match suspect descriptions against the live feed while patrol is still en route. Push matches to mobile in under a second.

› “black sedan no plate, fled east on Main, last 3 min”
DETECTIVE

Retrospective case work.

Pull every appearance of a vehicle, person, or object across a multi-day window, without watching a frame.

› “delivery van with ladder rack, 02:00–04:00, 26.05”
COMMAND STAFF

Strategic posture.

See pattern-of-life trends across districts. Quantify camera coverage gaps before the next budget cycle.

› “loitering events > 15 min, weekly, Civic district”
FUSION ANALYST

Cross-jurisdictional review.

Run the same query across partner-agency feeds with role-bounded access and a full audit trail per viewer.

› “red Tacoma seen in PD-A, then PD-B, last 72h”

Where it runs

Real work, in real rooms.

EdgeTrace lives in the places the work already happens: the watch floor, the crime center, the investigations bureau. On agency hardware, on the agency network.

05 / In their words

EdgeTrace found evidence in seconds that would have taken us hours to discover, if we found it at all.

The customer service has been phenomenal. There hasn’t been anything we’ve suggested that they’ve said they can’t do: the willingness to listen and implement it in a really quick fashion.

This is exactly what we need for what we’re trying to achieve. I’m mostly impressed by how fast it is.

06 / Trust posture

Built for the rules you operate under.

EdgeTrace is engineered for the constraints public-safety agencies actually face: evidentiary integrity, custody, and data sovereignty. Not retrofit. Designed in.

Chain of custody

Every query, viewer, export, and edit is signed and timestamped. Hand a verifiable record to prosecutors with the clip.

On-prem appliance

EdgeTrace runs inside your network on agency-owned hardware. Footage and indexes never traverse the public internet.

Air-gapped option

For fusion and high-security deployments, the appliance runs fully isolated. Model updates ship on signed media.

Role-bounded access

CJIS-ready roles, per-camera scoping, and partner-agency sharing with revocable, audit-logged grants.

Automatic redaction

Faces, license plates, and bystanders blurred on export per policy. Reversible only with logged supervisor approval.

No model training on your data

Your footage is yours. EdgeTrace does not train, retain, or re-purpose agency video. Contractually and technically.

Court-ready exports

Clips ship with hash-signed metadata, query lineage, and a printable affidavit of how the evidence was surfaced.

Defense-in-depth

Encrypted at rest and in transit, hardware-rooted device identity, and signed updates.

A 30-minute briefing. We bring the demo dataset. You bring the questions your detectives actually ask.
