Not Surveillance. Investigation.
Community-powered video intelligence that helps solve crimes without mass surveillance. Your camera, your consent, your community.
The privacy-respecting alternative to surveillance companies
Help solve crimes without becoming part of a mass surveillance network. AVENGE puts you in control.
Privacy by Design
Edge-first processing means your footage is analyzed locally. Only metadata travels to the cloud, not your raw video.
Consent at Every Step
You control what you share. Preview exactly what investigators will see before granting access. Revoke anytime.
Community-Owned
No secret federal databases. No bulk surveillance. Your community decides who gets access to local footage.
Investigation-Focused
Reactive, not proactive. AVENGE only activates when crimes happen, not to build surveillance databases.
Any Camera Works
Dashcams, Ring, Nest, Wyze, or any RTSP camera. No proprietary hardware required.
Transparent Governance
Public audit trails show who accessed what footage and why. No hidden government backdoors.
AI-Powered Analysis
License plate recognition, vehicle tracking, and cross-camera correlation to reconstruct incident timelines.
Geographic Coverage
Build coverage maps to identify gaps and coordinate with neighbors for comprehensive area protection.
