Redaction options, compared honestly.
Axon and Veritone make capable redaction tools. The question for your agency is architectural: does the footage go to a vendor cloud, or stay in your custody? Here's the side-by-side.
| Axon Redaction Studio | Veritone Redact | Camvi On-Prem Redaction | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where footage is processed | Axon Evidence.com cloud | Veritone cloud (aiWARE) | A server inside your agency — closed network capable |
| Who touches the evidence | Vendor cloud environment | Vendor cloud environment | Only your personnel |
| Platform dependency | Requires the Axon ecosystem | Standalone cloud service | Standalone; works with footage from any source |
| Cost model | Ecosystem licensing; AI assistant is a paid add-on | Cloud subscription / usage-based | Flat software license — no per-minute cloud fees |
| Best fit | Agencies fully on Axon | Cloud-permitted agencies | Agencies that keep evidence in custody, air-gapped environments, multi-source footage |

Frequently asked questions
Is there an alternative to cloud-based video redaction for police?
Yes. On-premises redaction software like Camvi runs on a server inside the agency, so criminal justice footage is never uploaded to a vendor cloud. Your staff operate the tool; automated detection removes most of the manual frame-scrubbing.
Why would an agency choose on-prem redaction over Axon or Veritone?
Three common reasons: chain-of-custody policy that footage must not leave the agency; footage from many sources (CCTV, interview rooms, third-party video) that does not live in one evidence ecosystem; and predictable flat licensing instead of cloud usage fees.
Does automated redaction still require human review?
Yes — and it should. Automated detection handles the tedium; agency reviewers approve and adjust before release. Camvi is built around that reviewer-in-the-loop workflow.
