How Do You Prepare for Court?

  1. Discovery is uploaded in one batch.

  2. Every minute of footage is transcribed and watched, including the silent stretches.

  3. The report is read and compared against the video automatically.

  4. Every conflict is flagged with a timestamp and a page number.

  5. Flagging key moments is 25x faster than writing timestamps by hand.

Traditional Review
  1. Discovery arrives on a thumb drive days before trial.

  2. A lawyer or paralegal watches hours of footage at normal speed; silent stretches are skipped or skimmed.

  3. The report is read separately and compared from memory.

  4. Timestamps are written by hand on a legal pad.

  5. Nights and weekends are spent on the file.

Technology that watches the footage

Audio transcribed plus frame-by-frame review of the non-verbal record. Even where the video is silent, we flag objects handled, tools deployed, searches begun, evidence moved off camera. Plus on-screen text pulled from the pixels: plates, labels, and signs.

An evidence vault, not a consumer upload box

Multi-gigabyte discovery files upload into an encrypted evidence vault reserved for your account: encrypted at rest, TLS in transit, reachable only through short-lived signed links. Nothing trains AI models, and deleting a video deletes the vault copy with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on how Brady works, what it costs, and how it treats your client’s evidence.

Read The Security Model →
How can I review hours of body camera footage faster?

Upload the video to your caseroom and process it. Brady 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?

Brady 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 Brady 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 Brady different from JusticeText and other transcription tools?

Audio-first tools transcribe and summarize what was said. Brady 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?

Brady publishes flat pricing: your first 3 videos are free with no card required. Basic is $45 per attorney per month for 20 hours and 30 videos, and Advanced is $85 per attorney per month for 40 hours and 60 videos. Both include every feature and are billed monthly, and firms and public defender offices of five or more attorneys can ask about bundle pricing.

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

No. Never. Your footage is processed to generate your analysis and for nothing else, 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 upload into your encrypted evidence vault: private cloud storage reserved for your account, encrypted at rest and in transit, with 200 GB included. Your cases, findings, transcripts, and summaries are stored alongside it, so everything follows you to any device you sign in from. Your browser keeps a local copy of recently used files for instant playback, but the vault is the system of record. Delete a video and the vault copy is deleted with it. As a matter of practice, keep your original discovery files in your normal evidence storage.

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.
