Why BodyCamAI

AI Software to Help Criminal Defense Lawyers Review Body Camera Footage

BodyCamAI lets you and your staff review hours of body camera footage in minutes. Built specifically for criminal defense practice, our computer vision model examines video the way an experienced defense team does: watching the entire recording and following both what is said and what is done.

Most review tools index only the spoken portions of a video. BodyCamAI captures everything, because the evidence that decides a suppression motion often appears when no one is speaking. Every finding is a clickable, time-stamped entry that takes you straight to the source footage, so you can verify it with your own eyes.

What the AI catches

  • Visual events in the silent footage: items handled, searches begun, tools deployed, evidence leaving the frame
  • On-screen text read out of the pixels: plates, warrant headers, MDT screens, burned-in clocks
  • Defense flags: consent and Miranda timing, custody gaps, forced entry, third-party recordings
  • Speaker-labeled transcripts timed to the word, with one-click speaker renaming
  • A written summary and up to five concrete issues for counsel, every one time-stamped

Built for the defense workflow

  • Attach the charging documents and the AI reads footage against the actual allegations
  • Batch-process a whole case, then search every video, transcript, and note at once
  • Confirm, reject, or flag any finding for the attorney; notes pinned to the second
  • Sync multiple cameras to one wall-clock timeline
  • Cut lossless clips and export Word or PDF reports that drop into the case file
  • Shared firm workspaces: your paralegal processes, you review

Security by architecture

  • Video files never leave your browser; there is no server-side evidence vault to breach or subpoena
  • Only sampled still frames and compressed audio are transmitted for analysis, over TLS
  • Client footage is never used to train AI models, by contract with our providers
  • Sign-in, MFA, and sessions handled by Clerk; we never see credentials
  • Every database query is scoped to your account; payments stay on Stripe’s systems
  • Delete a case and its findings are gone; the footage was never here to begin with

FAQs

How can I review hours of body camera footage faster?

Upload the video to your caseroom and process it. BodyCamAI samples frames across the full runtime and returns a timestamped index of visual events, on-screen text, and defense-relevant flags in about a minute, so you spend your review time on the moments that matter instead of scrubbing through silence.

Can AI find Miranda or consent issues in bodycam video?

BodyCamAI flags suppression-relevant moments it can observe: contexts where consent language is absent before a search begins, custody gaps where evidence leaves the frame, forced entry, K9 deployments, and third-party recordings worth preserving. Flags are leads for counsel to verify against the footage, not legal conclusions.

Does BodyCamAI work with Axon, WatchGuard, and Motorola video files?

Yes, if your browser can play it, we can analyze it: MP4, MOV, WebM, and the MP4 exports produced by common evidence platforms including Axon and Motorola WatchGuard.

How is BodyCamAI different from JusticeText and other transcription tools?

Audio-first tools transcribe and summarize what was said. BodyCamAI analyzes the silent footage, meaning what officers did on camera when nobody was talking, and pins every finding to a clickable timestamp. In a typical body cam video, most material events happen without a word spoken.

How much does body cam review software cost?

BodyCamAI publishes flat pricing: your first 3 videos are free with no card required, then $80 per attorney per month, billed monthly, with bundle pricing for firms and public defender offices of five or more licenses.

Is my client's footage used to train AI models?

No. Never. Video files stay in your browser; only sampled frames and compressed audio are transmitted for your analysis, and our model providers are contractually barred from training on customer data.

Where is the evidence stored? Will my videos still be here tomorrow?

Video files live in a local cache on your device that survives sign-outs, browser restarts, and reboots; we request persistent storage from your browser so files are not reclaimed automatically. Your account data (cases, findings, transcripts, summaries) is stored server-side and follows you to any device. The cache is per-device, so a new computer needs the source file re-attached, one click if it lives in Dropbox. Treat BodyCamAI as your review workspace and keep originals in your normal evidence storage. We recommend Chrome or Edge; Safari can clear local site data after about a week of inactivity.

Can I rely on the AI's findings in court?

Treat them like work product from a very fast paralegal: every finding links to a timestamp so you can verify by eye against the source footage. The tool is a reviewing aid, not a substitute for counsel's own review.
