Body-worn cameras (BWCs) have become indispensable tools for law enforcement, providing valuable evidence and enhancing trust within communities. 

However, the vast amount of footage generated presents significant challenges, with manual review and redaction tying up valuable resources.

CLIPr is an AI-powered software designed specifically for law enforcement, offering a streamlined solution for body-worn camera (BWC) video analysis and report generation. By automatically transcribing and summarizing BWC audio into draft police reports, CLIPr reduces the time officers spend on documentation, allowing them to focus on critical tasks like investigations and community engagement.

Here's what you need to know when deciding whether CLIPr is a worthwhile investment for your police force.

#1 - How long does it take CLIPr to process each video?

Time is essential in law enforcement, and manual review of BWC footage can significantly delay critical tasks.

Current processing time:

• CLIPr processes videos at approximately half the length of the recording
• A one-hour video takes around 30 minutes to process
• A 30-minute video takes approximately 15 minutes
• When multiple videos are received from an officer, they are all processed at the same time 

Future enhancements: CLIPr's next major update aims to reduce processing time to 10-20% of the video's length—a 60-80% reduction from current speeds.

Of course, there are certain factors that process the actual video processing time, including:

• Video length
• Video quality/resolution
• Server load

But, with all this considered, compared to manual review, CLIPr's automated capabilities significantly reduce the time spent analyzing footage (up to 50%), allowing them to focus on investigations, community engagement, and emergency response.

#2 - Do you support Axon body-worn cameras and other BWC systems?

CLIPr seamlessly integrates with a wide range of BWC systems, including Axon, with two primary integration architectures:

Dock & auto-upload:

• At shift end, BWC platform automatically sends metadata to CLIPr's secure S3 bucket
• Metadata includes incident type, badge number, location, and video file location

Near real-time:

• As soon as recording completes, data transmits to patrol car or department network
• Enables immediate processing for time-sensitive situations so your reports can get generated throughout the day in between 911 calls

This flexibility ensures CLIPr adapts to specific agency needs regardless of their BWC system.

#3 - How does CLIPr integrate into existing digital evidence management system (DEMS) workflows?

CLIPr's video player is designed as an embeddable iFrame that integrates with any DEMS platform supporting iFrames. By replacing a URL with the CLIPr iFrame, agencies enhance their DEMS with advanced video capabilities.

When officers access video evidence, they'll see a thumbnail of the CLIPr-processed video, which provides:

• Automated report drafts based on video content
• Annotation capabilities for adding notes
• Advanced search functionality to quickly locate specific moments

This integration centralizes evidence management, improves efficiency, enhances collaboration, and reduces errors.

#4 - How does CLIPr integrate into existing records management system (RMS) workflows?

Similar to DEMS integration, CLIPr's embeddable video player easily integrates with RMS platforms. When accessing incident reports, officers see thumbnails representing associated CLIPr-processed videos.

Benefits include:

• Direct access to video evidence without leaving the RMS interface
• Synchronized notes and annotations between CLIPr and RMS
• Enhanced search capabilities for specific video moments
• Centralized information management and improved accuracy

#5 - Do we own the data?

With CLIPr, law enforcement agencies retain full ownership and access to all their processed data. CLIPr makes no ownership claims over any footage processed through its platform, ensuring agencies maintain complete control over their sensitive information and can access it whenever needed. 

The platform is designed to synchronize with your agency's specific data retention policies, whether you require short or long retention periods, helping ensure compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.

CLIPr is committed to transparency in all aspects of its service, including pricing. 

There are no hidden fees or unexpected costs associated with data ownership or retention. Agencies can confidently implement CLIPr knowing that they will maintain control of their data while only paying for the services they use.

#6 - Can I pay for only what I need?

CLIPr's flexible pricing is designed with departmental budgets in mind. The pay-per-use model charges only for the minutes you actually use, with CLIPr helping estimate costs based on your expected daily video volume. 

Unused minutes don't go to waste—they carry forward into the next calendar year. 

The pricing scales to fit departments of all sizes, from small agencies to major metropolitan forces, with tailored packages for your specific requirements. 

Early adopters enjoy significant discounts, high-volume users benefit from volume-based savings, and lower-incident districts pay less for their reduced usage. 

With CLIPr, you never pay for more than you need.

#7 - What is the list price, and are there discounts available?

CLIPr's standard list price is $0.21 per minute of processed video, but multiple discount opportunities can significantly reduce this cost. 

Agencies that are early adopters in their region receive preferential pricing, high-volume departments benefit from substantial volume-based discounts, and lower-incident districts qualify for reduced rates that reflect their actual usage needs.
