Search, not storage
Semantic, face, plate and image search across the whole archive. The search that takes a paralegal a day takes about a minute.
Forensic video investigation
Ask for the grey sedan that passed the store between 6 and 7pm. Get the clip in about a minute. Veritas runs on one appliance inside your network, with a chain of custody built for the courtroom.
Why offices buy it
Axon, Genetec, NICE and Motorola solved storing and sharing evidence, and they solved it well. None of them let a prosecutor ask a question of the footage. That gap is where a case gets lost, and it is the only thing Veritas does.
Semantic, face, plate and image search across the whole archive. The search that takes a paralegal a day takes about a minute.
Not cloud with a compliance certificate. Actually offline. For sealed cases, contraband material and internal affairs, that is the only permissible design.
Tracked, expiring, access-logged disclosure to defense counsel. The competing tools are built around patrol capture and treat your office as a recipient.
Five ways into the same footage
Every mode queries the same processed footage. Start with a description, narrow with a plate, confirm with a face, then pull every similar sighting.
Description
"White pickup near the loading dock after dark"
Type what a witness told you. No tags, no metadata, no naming convention to learn.
Image
Upload a still of a suspect, vehicle or object and pull every visually similar detection across the archive.
Face
Enroll a face once and future matches surface across every camera and case, ranked by confidence. Switch it off entirely and the audit trail records that it is off.
Plate
Exact and partial plate search across recognized vehicles, with a confidence score on every read.
Filters
Stack object type, colour, confidence and date range on top of any search above.
Similar
One good hit becomes every other sighting of the same person or vehicle, in one click.
For the people who have to approve it
Veritas is an appliance that sits on your network. There is no cloud tenancy, no inbound access, no agent on anyone's workstation and no data leaving the building. Your IT team can audit the box because the box is the whole system.
It never transmits criminal justice information anywhere, because it never transmits anything. Ingest starts as a watched folder, so nothing has to be rebuilt before you see value.

Evidence integrity
Integrity is not a report the system prints at the end. It is how the system records everything as it happens.
A SHA-256 is computed from the exact bytes written to disk at extraction time, not re-derived later when someone asks for it.
Every upload, search, view, flag, export and hand-off is recorded with who, when and from where. Entries are hash-chained, so removing or editing one breaks the chain and names the row it broke on.
Hand evidence to defense counsel as a tracked package with a named recipient, an expiry and a log of every access. You can show what you turned over and when.
Blur faces and plates and strip audio on the exported copy. The original stays untouched and the export records what was redacted.
How it buys
Federal justice grants buy equipment far more easily than they buy subscriptions. A multi-year subscription creates an out-year funding obligation that grant-funded agencies specifically struggle to commit to.
Veritas ships as an appliance: delivered, invoiced, done. That is a procurement advantage, not just a technical one.
Talk to us about a pilotNot a sandbox and not our demo reel. Your cases, on a unit in your building.
The pilot fee comes off the purchase price. If it does not earn its place, it ends there.
One capital line, invoiced once, closing inside the grant window rather than after it.
The annual covers updates and support. It is deliberately small.
Straight answers
No, and it should not. Keep it. Axon stores and shares evidence well. Veritas sits behind whatever you already run and makes the archive searchable. The question worth asking is what an investigator does today when they need every white pickup on the 14th.
Then leave it switched off. Face matching is a module, and the audit trail records that it is disabled. Most of the value is in plain-language description search, which involves no biometric matching at all.
It never transmits criminal justice information anywhere, because it has no external connection. It runs inside your network on hardware you control, and your security team can audit the appliance directly.
It is a search tool, not a decision-maker. It surfaces candidates for a human to review, ranked by confidence, and every action a reviewer takes is written to the chain of custody. It narrows where to look; it does not decide.
The database is backed up nightly and a spare unit can be supplied. Every evidence hash is held in the database, so a restored unit re-verifies a separately restored media library file by file.
Watched-folder ingest works on day one, which is why nothing has to be rebuilt before you see whether it helps. Named integrations get built when a customer names one.
Thirty minutes, your own footage, and a question you have not been able to answer quickly. That is the whole demo.
