Bookmarks, evidence locks, and video restrictions

You can tag video sequences with bookmark, evidence lock, and video restriction tags.

Bookmarks

You use bookmarks to improve the sharing of video sequences internally and externally.

• Internally, because you can add additional information about these tagged sequences and you and your colleagues can search for them. This means that more can, for example, help handle incidents and investigations.

• Externally, because you can easily export the tagged video sequences.

Evidence locks

Tagging video sequences with evidence locks have the same benefits as bookmarks, but you also protect the tagged video sequences from being deleted for a defined duration.

Protecting video sequences from deletion is helpful if they are essential evidence in, for example, a court case or significant investigation, and you, therefore, need to keep these sequences longer than you usually would.

Video restrictions

Investigators can tag video sequences with video restriction tags to restrict access to the video sequences for a defined duration. Both in live and recorded video.

Investigators typically apply video restriction tags if the video is privacy sensitive, related to a high-profile incident, or both.

The following examples demonstrate reasons to restrict access to video temporarily:

• Prevent leaks to the media about the details of an incident.

• Keep the investigation and details of an incident to a few key investigators.

• Allow the police to conduct a thorough investigation in peace.

• Protect the privacy of people in the video.

You can simultaneously apply video restrictions and evidence locks to the video sequences
