Automate Victim Identification
The S21 Find Victims (formerly ‘Assisted VID’) function enables everyone to run thorough victim ID searches quickly and easily.
Investigators provide minimal ‘breadcrumbs’ of information – S21 VisionX’s AI does the rest, highlighting possible files containing victims.
Like you, we believe every victim matters. Now, anyone can help identify and safeguard victims faster than ever.
Automated categorisation of CSAM images and videos
The S21 CSAM Auto Categoriser, built into S21 VisionX, enables users to process thousands of images and videos per minute to identify illicit content.
It differentiates between CSAM, indicative content, legally held content and adult pornography — significantly reducing categorisation time and easing the mental burden on investigators.
School Badge Lookup
The S21 School Badge Lookup is the world’s first offline tool for identifying school badges (USA, Canada, UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland – with more regions coming soon). Investigators can search by name, address, region or even a description of the badge.
If a badge shows a rainbow but no wording, simply enter ‘rainbow’ and all matching badges are returned — no internet required.
You are passionate about finding victims, and so are we. The S21 School Badge Lookup is just one of many safeguarding tools built into S21 VisionX.
Fully Offline & Secure
Protect sensitive evidence and eliminate the risks of cloud-based AI learning from your victim’s images and videos – and potentially exploiting them further. S21 VisionX runs completely offline, ensuring no data ever leaves your environment and removing all exposure to third-party access or breaches.
Built for Everyone — from Frontline Officers to Lab Experts
S21 VisionX is easy to use for simple frontline users and powerful enough for advanced lab analysts. Whether you’re on the front line or in the lab, it provides the right tools to get the job done.
No Servers or Specialist Hardware
Deploy instantly without complex infrastructure. S21 VisionX runs efficiently on standard workstations or existing networked machines – no dedicated servers or high-end hardware required.
Automatic Descriptions of CSAM Content
Automatically generate accurate and detailed descriptions for any image or frame. This feature quickly analyses visual content and produces clear, context-rich descriptions, allowing investigators to understand material without prolonged exposure.
Automated CSAM Detector
Automatically identify potentially exploitative material across data, reducing investigator exposure and speeding up review. The S21 Auto Categoriser instantly detects high-risk files with accuracy, helping you focus on the most critical evidence and progress cases more efficiently.
Case Checklist for Guided Workflow
Follow a structured checklist that ensures every step of an investigation is followed. Get instant results to review with just a click and streamline your workflow to maintain a clear record of progress for greater consistency and accountability across your casework.
People Detection for Fast Filtering
Quickly filter and review all faces and bodies in your case using a simple dropdown menu. Instantly access all files linked to specific people, making it easier to organise evidence, compare appearances and build a clearer understanding of connections.
Synthetic Media Detection
Automatically detect AI-generated and manipulated media within your case files. Identify deepfakes and other synthetic content with precision, protecting the integrity of your evidence and ensuring only authentic material is used to support your investigation.
AI Location Prediction
Input any image and instantly receive an estimated location of where it was taken. Working fully offline and without relying on EXIF data, the feature analyses visual details in the picture itself to provide accurate geographic insights.
Visual Search by Object or Scene
Instantly search for objects or scenes across data. Filter by category to quickly narrow results and locate the exact evidence you need, saving hours of manual review and ensuring nothing important is overlooked.
Colour Search
Quickly locate files containing specific colours. Simply select a shade from the colour palette, and all images and videos featuring that colour are instantly displayed on the grid. This makes it easy to identify patterns, locate key evidence, and focus on the material that matters most.
S21 Global Alliance Database (GAD)
The world’s largest CSAM intelligence database
Over 3 BILLION records contributed by global law enforcement, including notes, descriptions, and classifications — all designed to reduce manual review and minimise CSAM exposure for investigators.
