Integrate your policing or public-sector system with FotoWare DEMS using 6B’s secure, scalable integration services. We deliver high-quality, standards-aligned interoperability that connects case management platforms, digital evidence repositories, mobile applications, and operational systems with FotoWare’s Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) to streamline evidence handling and improve investigative workflows.
Get in touch6B works with police forces, justice agencies, and government technology providers to design and implement robust FotoWare DEMS integrations. Whether you’re automating evidence ingestion, synchronising metadata, accessing assets programmatically, or enabling cross-system collaboration, our integrations enhance efficiency, accuracy, and compliance across the investigative process.
Our mission is to support modern digital policing by enabling seamless, reliable data exchange between FotoWare DEMS and the systems officers, analysts, and support teams use every day.
FotoWare DEMS is a digital evidence management platform used across policing and public safety organisations to securely store, organise, and manage multimedia evidence. Designed for operational environments, it consolidates images, video, audio recordings, documents, and third-party submissions into a centralised, searchable repository with full chain-of-custody and audit capabilities.
The platform provides a powerful API framework that enables external applications to upload evidence, manage metadata, create and update records, retrieve assets, control access, and trigger workflow automation. FotoWare’s authentication model typically uses OAuth-based, token-driven access with granular permissions to ensure secure, regulated interactions.
FotoWare DEMS supports integration with case management and RMS platforms, mobile capture tools, forensics systems, cloud storage providers, back-office systems, and analytics platforms. Its flexible, structured data model allows evidence to be processed, classified, and shared in compliance with investigative, judicial, and organisational requirements.
We begin with a detailed discovery phase to understand your use cases — such as automated uploads, metadata synchronisation, evidence categorisation, audit logging, or case association. We map these requirements to the appropriate FotoWare API endpoints, schemas, and workflows to ensure accuracy, security, and operational alignment.
Our solution architects design a secure, scalable integration architecture that incorporates REST APIs, encrypted communication, digital asset handling pipelines, metadata mapping, and permission controls. We factor in evidence volume, file sizes, performance expectations, automation triggers, and governance guidelines to create a resilient, maintainable integration.
6B accelerates delivery using reusable components, including authentication modules, API clients, ingestion pipelines, metadata transformers, and monitoring tools. Integrations undergo rigorous testing in controlled environments to validate evidence handling, error responses, throughput, audit trails, and compliance with policing standards.
During deployment, we coordinate with your operational and technical teams to support configuration, access provisioning, workflow rollout, and go-live readiness. After launch, we provide monitoring, optimisation, updates, and long-term support to keep your FotoWare integration secure, reliable, and aligned with evolving platform changes and governance requirements.
Integrating your solution with FotoWare DEMS streamlines evidence workflows by reducing manual handling, improving data consistency, and automating ingestion and classification processes. Metadata and record synchronisation improve accuracy, reduce administrative workload, and ensure evidence is consistently applied across connected systems.
Real-time or scheduled synchronisation enables faster case progression, clearer situational awareness, and improved collaboration across investigative and operational teams. Evidence moves securely between systems while maintaining chain-of-custody, audit visibility, and compliance with policing and judicial standards.
For solution providers, FotoWare DEMS integration increases value, adoption, and interoperability across policing and public-sector environments. Standards-based connectivity supports scalable deployments and demonstrates operational readiness.
6B has extensive experience delivering integrations across policing, justice, and wider government environments, ensuring solutions align with operational workflows and governance requirements.
We design and deliver secure, standards-based integrations using REST APIs, encrypted communication, token-based authentication, and comprehensive auditing to meet criminal justice and public-sector compliance standards.
Our reusable integration components accelerate delivery while maintaining performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
We provide full lifecycle support — discovery, architecture, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing optimisation — ensuring your integration remains secure and effective.
All work adheres to UK public-sector frameworks including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, NCSC cloud guidance, and UK GDPR/criminal justice data legislation.
FotoWare DEMS supports integration with case management systems, RMS platforms, digital forensics tools, mobile capture apps, cloud storage services, and analytics platforms. Any system that needs to upload, update, or retrieve digital evidence can typically integrate through the FotoWare API.
Yes. FotoWare provides encrypted communication, token-based authentication, role-based permissions, and extensive audit logging. 6B ensures integrations follow ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, NCSC cloud principles, and criminal justice governance requirements.
Yes. FotoWare DEMS is designed for high-volume multimedia evidence. Our integration architecture accounts for chunked uploads, bandwidth considerations, file size limits, and performance optimisation to handle large assets reliably.
Yes. Evidence and metadata can be uploaded programmatically using FotoWare’s API. Integrations can support real-time ingestion, bulk uploads, scheduled jobs, or event-driven workflows depending on operational needs.
Not always. Many integrations can be delivered via a middleware or adapter service, minimising changes to your existing technology stack. During discovery, we assess your architecture and recommend the least disruptive approach.
We use controlled test environments to validate evidence ingestion, metadata updates, authentication flows, permissions, error handling, performance, and audit behaviour. Testing ensures compliance with policing and justice operational standards before go-live.
Yes. FotoWare’s APIs support full metadata management, including creating, updating, and retrieving structured metadata fields. This ensures consistent evidence classification and smoother cross-system workflows.
Yes. We offer long-term support including monitoring, troubleshooting, optimisation, and updates to keep your integration aligned with FotoWare enhancements and public-sector governance requirements.
