One repository instead of six systems. DEMS consolidates multi-vendor body-cam, dash-cam, and CCTV, searches across agencies, and works FOIA with redaction built in.
- Consolidate every source. Multi-vendor body-cam, dash-cam, CCTV, and digital files in one repository.
- Search across agencies. Federated search over evidence libraries, even multiple legacy systems.
- Fulfill FOIA faster. Records requests worked with integrated review and redaction.
Take the case as it comes and disclose it clean. DEMS receives evidence from every agency, reviews it with AI, and shares discovery under audit.
- Receive clean packages. Evidence routed from every agency into the case, chain intact.
- Review with AI. Transcripts, tags, and summaries across footage, interviews, and documents.
- Share for discovery. Controlled, audited disclosure to defense counsel.
Account for every incident across every facility. DEMS unifies facility video, makes interviews searchable, and documents incidents with integrity intact.
- Unify facility video. Multi-facility CCTV consolidated for incidents and investigations.
- Analyze interviews. Recordings transcribed and searchable across cases.
- Document everything. Incident evidence with integrity certificates and audit history.
Settle on evidence, not on assumption. DEMS collects claim media from the field, investigates it, and surfaces fraud patterns across the file.
- Investigate claims. Photo, video, and document evidence organized per claim.
- Collect from the field. Mobile intake and secure upload links for adjusters and external parties.
- Fight fraud. AI review across claim media surfaces patterns and inconsistencies.
Run discovery on the media instead of around it. DEMS ingests case media and depositions, reviews them, and shares with controlled, expiring access.
- Run eDiscovery. Case media ingested, reviewed, and produced with admissibility intact.
- Ingest depositions. Virtual deposition recordings straight into the matter.
- Share with control. Tokenized, expiring access for opposing counsel and partners.
Give campus and district police a real evidence system. DEMS handles multi-source video evidence, packages incidents for handoff, and answers records requests.
- Equip campus police. Multi-source video evidence for college and district departments.
- Hand off cleanly. K-12 incident evidence packaged for law enforcement.
- Answer records requests. University FOIA with multi-format intake and redaction.
How It Works
Three steps, on repeat
Ingest everything
Body-cam, CCTV, interviews, documents, and citizen uploads. 300+ formats, any vendor.
Organize and analyze
Cases and folders with AI transcription, tagging, summaries, and CaseBot answers.
Share and stand behind it
Portals and tokenized links for prosecutors, defense, and public records, fully audited.
Capabilities
One case, intact from intake to courtroom
Any source, any vendor
Multi-vendor body-cam, dash-cam, CCTV, CAD, and digital files without lock-in.
Evidence intake from anyone
A public portal for community submissions, secure upload links for external parties, and partner-agency access so one department can ask another to upload straight into the case.
Cases that make sense
Evidence organized by case and folder with rich metadata, custom attributes, and search.
AI on the evidence
Transcription, detection, tagging, and summaries as evidence lands, with CaseBot answering questions across the file, cited.
Court-ready exhibits
Clipping, multi-clip splicing, and mosaic playback for the courtroom.
Custody you can prove
Every touch logged with user, time, and action in WORM audit logs that can never be altered, with hashing and digitally signed integrity certificates.
Share with control
Prosecutor and defense portals with scoped visibility, plus tokenized, expiring, watermarked external shares. All audited.
Access and lifecycle
CJIS-compliant role-based access with MFA, and lifecycle policies that administer archival, retention, legal hold, deletion, and purge automatically.
Wired to your stack
REST APIs, webhooks, and connectors bring evidence in from records systems and push case packages out.
Why It Wins
Why agencies pick it over other evidence systems
No vendor lock-in
Evidence from any camera program or legacy system, consolidated instead of siloed.
AI that reads the evidence
Transcripts, tags, timelines, and CaseBot answers built into the repository, not bolted on.
Share without losing control
Portals, tokenized links, and citizen intake, all inside the chain of custody.
One platform underneath
DEMS shares storage, security, search, and controls with every VIDIZMO product. Teams coordinate in shared cases and workspaces, and you can add products without re-platforming.
FAQ
Digital evidence management, asked and answered
How does DEMS prove chain of custody?
Every touch is logged with user, time, and action in WORM audit logs that can never be altered, backed by hashing and digitally signed integrity certificates that hold up when the evidence is challenged.
What sources can it ingest?
Over 300 formats from any vendor: body-worn camera, CCTV, interview rooms, in-car video, documents, plus citizen uploads and partner-agency submissions through controlled intake portals.
Is DEMS CJIS compliant?
Yes. DEMS is CJIS compliant: encryption, access control, and audit logging meet the CJIS Security Policy controls that apply to a service provider, with the system running in government cloud or on-premises so evidence stays under agency control.
Who uses a DEMS besides police?
Prosecutors preparing disclosure, courts managing exhibits, campus police, corrections, and civilian agencies that handle investigations, anywhere evidence must be collected, analyzed, redacted, and shared without breaking the chain.
How does digital evidence management software shorten case resolution?
It removes the time spent locating and assembling evidence. DEMS consolidates multi-vendor body-worn camera, dash cam, CCTV, and digital files in one repository, transcribes and tags them so they are searchable, and prepares disclosure packages without re-exporting between systems.
How does it help with e-discovery?
DEMS ingests case media and depositions, makes them searchable by spoken word and by object, applies privilege redaction, and shares production sets under controlled, expiring access with every action logged.
What role does metadata play?
Metadata is what makes evidence findable and defensible. DEMS preserves file system and embedded metadata on ingest, adds AI-generated tags and transcripts, and keeps both bound to the chain of custody record so an item's origin and handling can be shown in court.
How does it handle evidence from different sources?
DEMS ingests 300+ formats from multiple vendors, including proprietary CCTV formats, and can pull from VMS platforms and cloud storage. Federated search then runs across libraries and legacy systems, so evidence does not have to be migrated to be found.
Is cloud evidence management CJIS compliant?
Yes. DEMS runs CJIS compliant deployments, with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, role-based access control, MFA and single sign-on, and full audit logging, hosted on CJIS-aligned infrastructure including Azure Government. The agency holds the CJIS compliance obligation and these controls support it.
