Once archived, all of your footage is searchable with the simplicity of a text message. Search based on video contents, such as events, location, and behaviors of people recorded.

Overcoming the Problems Facing Human Rights Documentation

Human rights documentation is fast-paced, and leverages impassioned activists with inconsistent skill sets and organization levels.

Justo streamlines archival and retrieval by eliminating 4 key issues.

Scattered
Storage

Footage is often kept on SD cards and hard drives, making it inaccessible to researchers globally.

Unlabeled
Data

The footage is typically unlabeled, untagged, and unsearchable, requiring extensive manual effort to organize and make it meaningful.

Search
Challenges

Legal and media researchers struggle to find relevant segments in the footage, such as incidents involving police violence or arson.

Resource
Constraints

Underfunded human rights teams face significant delays and challenges in constructing cases, exacerbating the imbalance vs well-resourced perpetrators.

These scenarios illustrate how Justo can help legal and media researchers find just what they’re looking for like a needle in a haystack of footage.
