On the other hand, NICE provides Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software that automates the process of investigation and digital evidence management through the collection, analysis, and secure sharing of digital evidence.
NICE helps you to gather digital evidence by integrating and connecting with multiple systems such as CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch), RMS (Records Management Systems), Video cameras (CCTV, Body-worn) etc., in a time-efficient manner.
This article will compare NICE Digital Evidence Management Software with VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS).
Comparing NICE Evidence Management with Its Alternative
So, we will compare both based on certain distinguishing features.
Digital Evidence Sharing
VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)
With VIDIZMO DEMS, you can share evidence with internal and external portal users with limited or controlled access. It allows only authorized users to view evidence files and add notes to them. You can block the download option for some users as well. Along with that, you can restrict access to specific domain IP addresses.
VIDIZMO DEMS provides a limited sharing feature to share digital evidence with external viewers by emailing a link. You can assign a password to the evidence. You can share evidence with a specific number of users or groups. You can generate multiple links for each file as well.
NICE Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software
Digital evidence is stored and organized by creating virtual case folders. Then it is uploaded on the Portal.
With NICE Investigation and Digital Evidence Tracking System, investigators can share evidence with prosecutors by emailing a link to a digital case file in a time-efficient and secure manner.
Annotating Critical Information in Digital Evidence
VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)
VIDIZMO DEMS offers a feature to add annotations or highlight any essential information in Digital Evidence relevant to the case. These annotations are searchable as well.
In this way, you can speed up the entire investigation process, mark important points and collaborate with other officers.
NICE Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software
There is not enough information available on the website regarding the annotation of digital files.
Authorized users may annotate and organize information in case folders but that does not clarify the actual process of annotating Digital Evidence files. These annotations are not searchable as well.
AI-Based Transcription and Translation
VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)
VIDIZMO DEMS presents an extensive feature of AI-powered multilingual transcription and translation.
It allows you to search within the digital evidence through spoken words or phrases and quickly reach the relevant part in the digital evidence instead of watching the entire evidence videos.
VIDIZMO DEMS is capable of transcribing digital evidence files in up to 40 languages and translating them into more than 50 languages.
NICE Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software
NICE DEMS offers an optional transcription feature that creates a transcript of the audio file and allows you to search for phrases or words within the audio files.
However, NICE DEMS cannot transcribe spoken words in videos into text form.
There is not enough information on the website that can clarify whether NICE software can translate digital evidence files or not.
Automatic Audio and Video Redaction
VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)
VIDIZMO DEMS can automatically detect faces, people, objects, license plates, and other PII data in digital files, and redact them in a few clicks.
With VIDIZMO DEMS, you can redact sensitive personal information in both audio recordings and videos.
It offers an automatic redaction feature with a simultaneous manual redaction option for accurate results.
You can even redact multiple digital Evidence files simultaneously, saving time and human effort. You can mute specific audio clips and blur objects in images.
NICE Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software
NICE software can redact multiple audio segments containing sensitive information before exporting any Evidence file.
Its built-in redaction tool can also manually hide information in video files, but it does not offer automatic video redaction – or disclose much information on that matter.
Chain of custody
VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)
VIDIZMO DEMS maintains the integrity of evidence through the chain of custody which provides complete documentation of activities performed on digital evidence. You can track all activities and take any suitable actions whenever needed to ensure that digital evidence has been handled properly.
This helps extract crucial information such as reassignment of digital evidence to a previous officer or transfer of access to another officer with limited viewing rights into a consolidated chain of custody report.
Audit logs of all those accessing the system are maintained and support the chain of custody requirements.
NICE Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software
NICE offers Evidence Tracking Software, which can automatically track case Evidence files, e.g., who has accessed files or when accessed, ensuring evidence integrity, and maintaining chain of custody.
Role-Based Access Control
VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)
VIDIZMO DEMS offers a robust authentication and authorization process that ensures that only authorized users have access to Digital Evidence.
Authorized users can get access to digital evidence based on six roles such as administrator, manager, moderator, contributor, viewer, and anonymous with preset permissions within the application for each role.
The administrator is the main portal owner. As an administrator, you can choose the roles you wish to give to each user. He has full control over the portal.
NICE Investigate and Digital Evidence Management Software
Case Evidence files are accessible to users with specific assigned roles. For example, the lead investigator can access the case evidence as the case owner with full access. Other users can access the Case Evidence file as contributors with full access or view-only option.
