Setup & Devices

Evi-Pad runs on iOS and Android devices. Test your devices before rollout to confirm upload behavior in your environment.

No. Evi-Pad connects directly to Digital Evidence Manager®. Officers use one system, not two.

Devices carrying evidence should be enrolled in mobile device management before deployment. Confirm MDM policies cover the app and restrict unauthorized data sharing.

Field Capture

Photos, video, audio, and field notes — all in one app. Everything captured ties to a case number automatically.

When a file arrives in Digital Evidence Manager®, the record captures file name, serial number, case number, import user, author, import date, and creation date.

If connection is lost mid-upload, the transfer pauses. When the officer reopens the app and connection is restored, the upload resumes.

Submission & Upload

Yes. Evi-Pad supports field submission directly to Digital Evidence Manager®. Upload timing depends on your agency’s workflow configuration.

If the app is backgrounded, the upload continues. If the app is force-closed, the upload stops. Officers should confirm upload success before closing the app.

A confirmation screen displays once the upload is complete, showing the case number and file number.

Chain of Custody & Training

Every file is logged in Digital Evidence Manager® on arrival with case number, import user, author, import date, and creation date. No manual entry required. The record is created automatically.

Officers need workflow training, not just app training. They should know where files go after upload, how custody is maintained, and what supervisors see on the other end. Brief supervisory staff before officer-level training begins.
