Device home as evidence metadata

Evidence users can now identify the device home (originating facility) for any piece of evidence from the Evidence Search page as both a search filter option and a custom metadata column.

Unlike law enforcement agency use cases, the evidence collection process for Corrections agencies is not incident-triggered. Due to this limitation, most Corrections agencies have their evidence storage filled with files without attributions (e.g. incident numbers and other metadata/tags). This creates complications for administrators who must tag evidence in post, their first difficulty presenting itself in identifying the originating facility that produced the evidence.

We added “Device Home”, and is set by administrators to identify the originating facility associated with each BWC as metadata to each piece of evidence, which makes the process of identifying and tagging pieces of evidence easier for Corrections (and Enterprise) administrators.

“Device Home” is now available on the Evidence Search page as a custom metadata column. Evidence can also be filtered with “Device Home” as a criteria.

Updates and improvements

  • User Search Filter Persists - Previously, when administrators used the User Search page and filtered for specific criteria, then selected a user on that list, the "Back to User Search" button cleared out the prior search criteria, requiring users to enter the search criteria again. From this release, the "Back to User Search" button now allows the initial filtering criteria to persist.

  • Camera State now available in Inventory report - In Q4 2023, “Last Docked” and “Camera State” were added as inventory metadata; however, “Camera State” was unavailable in the Inventory Reports. “Camera State” is now available.
