System Security
Explore the encryption, access controls, and platform protections that safeguard sensitive data across all DekkoSecure services.
Dekko Edge AIApply AI to sensitive data without sending it to an external AI service
Transcribe, translate, redact, and detect critical sounds directly on authorized devices. Source files remain within your environment, and results remain protected by DekkoSecure’s zero-knowledge encryption, access controls, and audit trail. Nothing is used to train an external model.
Most AI sends your data to the model. Dekko Edge AI brings the model to your data.
Conventional cloud AI services require files to be uploaded and processed outside your controlled environment. This expands the systems and parties involved in handling evidence and introduces additional questions about access, retention, jurisdiction, and model training.
Dekko Edge AI installs the model on authorized devices and processes supported content locally. No case content is sent to an external AI service. Results remain protected by DekkoSecure’s zero-knowledge architecture and the existing permissions applied to the case.
Conventional cloud AI
Your files are uploaded and processed outside your environment.
Content is processed within infrastructure operated by another provider. Control then depends on that provider’s architecture, policies, contracts, and security controls.
Dekko Edge AI
The model runs locally. Your files remain within your environment.
Processing takes place on the authorized device. Results are stored with the case under DekkoSecure’s end-to-end encryption, permissions, and immutable audit trail.
How Edge AI works
STEP 1
Install the model
A one-time 2.5 GB download installs Dekko Edge AI on an authorized device. The model can be removed at any time.
STEP 2
Process on the device
Transcription, translation, redaction, and sound detection run locally. The source file is not uploaded to an external AI service.
STEP 3
Keep results with the case
Transcripts, translations, detections, and redacted copies remain connected to the source evidence and protected by the case’s encryption, permissions, and audit trail.
What Edge AI can do today
These capabilities are available in DekkoDEMS today. Video, audio, and images are processed on the user’s device while the source evidence remains under organizational control.
Transcription
Convert video and audio into searchable text without sending the recording to a cloud transcription provider.
- English transcription
- Speaker detection and reassignment
- Transcript search with timeline navigation
- Transcript editing with a full audit trail
- Transcript export
Translation
Translate spoken evidence across 24 languages directly on the device.
- Support for 24 languages
- Speaker detection and reassignment
- Transcript search with timeline navigation

Redaction
Prepare footage for controlled disclosure by obscuring faces and muting sensitive audio.
- Automated face detection and tracking
- Manual region and frame-by-frame redaction
- Audio muting
- Apply redaction across all or part of the timeline
- Export a separate redacted copy
Locate critical sounds without reviewing every minute
Edge AI detects defined sound events, including gunshots, shouts, breaking glass, and alarms. Each detection is timestamped on the recording timeline. Investigators can move directly to the relevant moment and review it in context.

Confidential AI extends secure processing beyond the device
Some AI workloads require more computing power than a user device can provide. Confidential AI processes these workloads inside a hardware-isolated, encrypted environment designed to prevent access by the cloud provider and DekkoSecure personnel.
The current capability supports plain-English queries across case records. Users can locate cases, files, and activity within a single case or across multiple cases without exposing the query or underlying content to a third-party AI service. Matching records are returned ready to review.
Content-level queries, including object searches across images and video, are planned as the capability expands.
Processed inside a hardware-isolated encrypted environment. Queries and results remain inaccessible to the infrastructure provider and DekkoSecure personnel.
The security model remains fixed as capability expands
DekkoSecure develops new AI functions around one requirement: user data is not disclosed to third-party AI providers. Edge AI handles suitable workloads on authorized devices. Confidential AI handles more demanding workloads inside a hardware-isolated encrypted environment.
Available today
- On-device transcription
- On-device translation across 24 languages
- On-device redaction with face detection
- On-device sound detection with timestamps
- Confidential case and file queries
Planned next
- Object detection for vehicles, weapons, and license plates
- Summaries of long recordings and case files
- Trend analysis across cases and time periods
Ongoing
New capabilities will use Edge AI or Confidential AI according to the workload, without sending user data to external AI services.
Frequently asked questions
What is Dekko Edge AI?
Dekko Edge AI is DekkoSecure’s on-device AI capability for digital evidence. It processes video, audio, and images on authorized hardware using locally installed models. Supported capabilities include transcription, translation across 24 languages, video redaction, and timestamped sound detection.
Does Dekko Edge AI send my data to the cloud?
No. After the one-time model download, Edge AI processing runs locally. Source files are not sent to an external AI service. Outputs remain in DekkoDEMS under zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption, case permissions, and an audit trail. Processing data is not used to train external models.
What is Confidential AI, and how is it different from Edge AI?
Edge AI processes supported workloads on the user’s device. Confidential AI processes more compute-intensive workloads inside a hardware-isolated encrypted environment designed to prevent access by the infrastructure provider and DekkoSecure personnel. Its current use includes plain-English case and file queries. Neither model sends user data to a third-party AI provider.
How is this different from ChatGPT or cloud transcription services?
General-purpose AI and cloud transcription services process uploaded content within provider-operated infrastructure. Their data handling practices vary by provider and service. Dekko Edge AI removes that dependency for supported workloads by processing files locally, while DekkoSecure’s zero-knowledge architecture protects the stored evidence and outputs.
Who is Dekko Edge AI built for?
Dekko Edge AI is available in DekkoDEMS for law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, digital evidence teams, and investigative task forces. It is designed for organizations that need AI-assisted evidence workflows without moving sensitive content into external AI services.
Can I remove the AI model from my device?
Yes. The locally installed model can be deleted from the device at any time. The feature guide provides the steps.
