Watchlist Monitoring
Suspects, registered offenders, and missing persons matched in real time across every connected camera, with a Case ID on every search.

Law Enforcement, from a Report to a Route
From a report to a route, in one tool. Police work with the cameras a city already has, most of which nobody is watching: IREX makes that estate searchable, alerts officers to what matters, and records the reason for every look.
In Production
Southern California, Peru, Kazakhstan
In Southern California, including Oceanside and El Cajon, police departments run IREX for traffic congestion and incidents, weapons in public spaces, registered-offender and loitering monitoring near sensitive locations, and real-time suspect matching through integration with local law-enforcement databases.
In Peru, the National Police and municipal forces including Lima and Miraflores use IREX as the backbone of public-safety operations, unifying thousands of cameras into a centralized command infrastructure. Key modules are facial recognition, traffic analytics with two-wheeler detection critical to the region, and weapon detection, with national and local agencies collaborating in real time through shared dashboards and secure messaging.
In Kazakhstan, the full analytics module catalog runs inside the national smart-city program as the central intelligence layer for public safety and law enforcement.

What Officers and Analysts Use
Weapon Detection
A firearm shown in a public space, and the gunshot, scream or breaking glass that goes with it, routed to officers in seconds with the frame attached.
See Weapon & Gunshot DetectionVehicle Intelligence
Plates plus make, model, color and type, checked against stolen, uninsured and unregistered databases in real time.
See License Plate RecognitionInvestigations
Search the archive by map, filter or plain language, then follow the subject camera to camera in both directions in time.
See Ask IREX & Video SearchField Coordination
Encrypted messaging, evidence upload, and natural-language queries from the phone an officer already carries.
See Sover CommunicationsAccountability
Case ID before every privacy-sensitive action, non-erasable logging, and daily signed exports open to oversight bodies.

Three Investigations, Three Starting Points
A description, a vehicle, and a child. Each starts as something a person can type and ends as a set of frames with a Case ID attached.

Search by Description
Sex, approximate age and appearance attributes are filters over the archive, so a witness statement becomes a query. A hit is a lead for an officer to confirm and never a finding on its own — the Case ID and lawful basis are recorded before the search runs.

Find the Vehicle, Then the Route
Plate plus make, model, color and body type, checked against stolen, uninsured and unregistered databases as it passes. From one sighting the platform reconstructs the route across the estate, in both directions in time.

The Search That Cannot Wait
A missing-person description run across every connected camera at once. The child is never named by the system and his face is never resolvable in the frame: the match is the shirt, the height and the time.
Missing PersonsThe Bargain
Why Communities Accept This Deployment
- The platform recognizes only pre-registered people and vehicles. It cannot identify or track random individuals in public spaces.
- Every high-risk action requires a recorded lawful basis: a case file, a court order, a missing-person report.
- The audit trail is open: append-only, tamper-evident, exported daily, with read access designed for supervisors and independent oversight bodies.
- Bias is measured and disclosed. IREX participates in the NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test and ran a company study in 2024 to estimate bias in suspect recognition.
- Compliance auditing runs over analytics usage itself, so misuse surfaces in the data rather than in a complaint.

The Estates Next Door
Police work crosses into these four estates constantly, and each of them runs the same platform on its own cameras. Every tile below shows a frame that already appears on the page it links to, so the picture is a preview of that estate rather than a second event.

A watchlist does not stop at the port of entry. The same face and vehicle lists run on crossing, corridor and coastline cameras, with each agency seeing only what its jurisdiction entitles it to.

The network a patrol shift actually spends its day on. Signal, yield and speed violations assemble into an evidence package with no manual compilation, and congestion and incident detection run on the same cameras.

Read MoreFAQ
Can we integrate our records and watchlist databases?
Yes. Integration endpoints for wanted-persons, stolen-vehicle, vehicle-registration and civil-registry systems are agreed during the design phase, with the customer providing timely access. That integration is what makes real-time suspect and vehicle matching possible.
Is IREX CJIS compliant?
IREX supports all 13 CJIS policy areas, and that is an alignment and compliance-support claim rather than a third-party certification. Encryption, role-based access, and daily signed audit exports are built in.
Will this survive a public-records or oversight challenge?
It is designed for exactly that. Every query, view and alert carries operator identity, timestamp and Case ID in an append-only log, and read access for supervisors and independent oversight bodies is a design goal rather than an afterthought.
Do we have to replace our cameras?
No. Reusing the existing fleet is the standard deployment model: any camera that supports ONVIF or streams RTSP with H.264 or H.265 on a static IP can be connected, and each module then sets its own resolution and placement requirements, which a site survey confirms. Note that connection is not plug-and-play: a qualified network engineer configures each camera and router.
Who owns the data?
You do. Customers retain 100% ownership and control of their data, and IREX neither owns nor accesses customer video, events, logs, watchlists, or floor plans. On-premises deployment is the data-residency mechanism.
How do we start?
With a pilot: one site, three to five use cases, six to twelve weeks, and two or three measurable success criteria agreed in writing before it begins. Accuracy is benchmarked on your own cameras, and the measured numbers go into the contract.
