Abstract

This invention is a method of capturing and analyzing video, image, audio, LPR, and other metadata to identify all evidence artifacts that are related to an Incident or Event.

Claims

1. A method for capturing and associating incident information, comprising;

Digitally capturing by an electronic device at least two of video, audio or metadata information concerning an incident to have a first recorded information and a second recorded information;

storing said captured information in a data base;

scanning said stored information in said database to identify a plurality of artifacts present in the recorded first information and the recorded second information;

associating said scanned and identified plurality artifacts of said first recorded data with that of said second recorded data, all of which are related to said incident so as to synchronize said first record data set with said second recorded data set.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein step of digitally capturing at least two of video, audo or meta data information includes recording with a personal camera.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of digitally capturing at least two of video, audio or metadata information includes recording with an in-car camera.
