CanvLess is a shared map of the security cameras investigators have found, built for verified United States law enforcement agency personnel. When something happens, the first hours decide whether footage survives. CanvLess shows the cameras other investigators have documented around a scene: where each one is, which way it faces and how far it sees, who owns it, how long it keeps footage, and who to ask for it. TRY IT FIRST A short demo on sample cameras runs before you sign in: drop a canvass, see which footage runs out first, then place and aim a camera. Nothing in the demo is real. CANVASS Press and hold where it happened, or drag the circle over the area you need. Set the time, and the cameras are listed by when their footage will be overwritten, so you knock on the right doors first. SEE WHAT EACH CAMERA SEES Every pin shows the camera's direction and range as a cone on the map. Tap a camera for its card: mount, picture quality by day and night, retention, and how to request footage. ADD AND CONFIRM Found a camera? Drop a pin on it, drag to aim it, and fill in what you know. When another investigator confirms it in person, it's marked verified. ON YOUR WRIST With Apple Watch, the cameras around you are a glance away: a map, the nearest ones with how long each keeps footage, and walking directions to any of them. BUILT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT • Verified agency personnel only • One phone per account, unlocked with Face ID • No case details, footage or incident data, ever • Every view is logged, and the map carries your account as a watermark, so a leak traces back to an account CanvLess requires a verified CanvLess account.
