What Law Enforcement says about us

CaseGuard is faster, more accurate, and easier to use

We had a demonstration provided, and I was blown away. I remember thinking to myself “This can’t *possibly* work that well – this is a demo, of course, they’re going to show their software under ideal conditions!”. They must have known what I was thinking, because we then used “real world” bodycam video’s and we used videos with a variety of light levels, action levels, etc – and the software is at least 3-4x better than what I was using previously, for redaction.

Redacting with CaseGuard is so much faster and much more accurate than anything I have used before.

It used to take me hours to redact a body worn camera video. Now it takes a fraction of the time and the accuracy of the automatic face/head detection is amazing! When I saw the demonstration for the program, I thought to myself, “This has to be difficult”. Well, I was wrong. The program is easy to use, and you don’t have to be a computer expert to use it.

We have seen an exponential decrease in time it takes to redact

We have used CaseGuard for about 6 months now and have seen an exponential decrease in time it takes to redact, as well as appreciated the enhanced tools available with this software to perform redactions in comparison to the previous program we used.

The CaseGuard team has always been readily available to help whenever needed, but in the event they are not available at the moment, they are sure to make contact as soon as possible which has given me great faith in their customer service.
