The power of NeoFace
At the heart of NEC’s facial recognition capability is NeoFace, our advanced facial recognition technology. Designed to support the demanding requirements of modern policing, NeoFace helps officers and investigators identify individuals quickly and efficiently from images and video, providing valuable information to support operational and investigative decision-making.
NeoFace supports both real-time and retrospective facial recognition, giving police forces the flexibility to use facial recognition across a range of operational and investigative scenarios. By helping teams search and compare imagery efficiently, the technology can support identification, generate new lines of enquiry and reduce the time investigators spend manually reviewing images.
Its advanced technology is designed to support identification in challenging conditions, helping police make effective use of facial imagery as part of their wider investigative processes. This provides forces with a flexible biometric capability that can support officers at different stages of an investigation, from identifying individuals in real-time environments through to reviewing imagery following an incident.
Our Capabilities
Our biometric capabilities give police forces flexible ways to use facial recognition technology across operational and investigative environments. From live identification to retrospective searches, our solutions help officers make faster, more informed decisions while supporting secure and responsible use of biometric technology.
Apply advanced biometric technology to support identity verification and identification across policing and public safety operations.
Advancing biometric technology
Biometric technology is transforming how police forces identify individuals, support investigations and protect communities. As policing faces increasingly complex challenges and growing volumes of imagery and information, accurate and reliable identification can help officers make informed decisions, progress investigations and respond more effectively to operational demands.
NEC Software Solutions combines decades of experience in biometrics with advanced technology to provide trusted identification capabilities for public safety. Our solutions include facial recognition software designed to help law enforcement agencies identify individuals more efficiently, support investigative processes and generate new lines of enquiry. By bringing together advanced biometric technology and our understanding of policing, we help forces make effective use of facial recognition while supporting secure, responsible and proportionate use.
“Supported by digital enhancements, our officers are better equipped to protect our communities and create quicker outcomes for victims and suspects alike.”
