This video might be just a “concept” video, perhaps created by someone who wants to warn the world about a “Pre-Crime” Minority Report future (I can’t find any legitimate source of this being an actual marketing video), but the concept matches a composite of real technologies, being implemented right now across the world. companies that we, in Australia, already give millions to every year.

The Central Command Platform gives key decision-makers easy access to advanced surveillance options.

Using the icons at the top, we can toggle the visibility of the subjects we want to view. We’ll tap the human icon to activate their visibility.

AI central command

This gives us a real-time view of all the subjects in our jurisdiction.

Let’s use the search bar to find a specific subject. Here, we can search by typing in the name of a subject or by searching with an image of the subject’s face.

First, let’s try typing in the name of our subject. In this case, there were two people with the same name found in our jurisdiction.

We can tap a subject’s live location to see more details. We can now see the live location and source details of the person we tapped on, with options to see more details to help us determine if this is the correct subject.

To search by face, let’s say we have an image of the subject. We can source this from a surveillance integration or by manually uploading an image. Using face search, we can find the exact person who matches the face of our subject.

Let’s say our subject is suspected of committing a crime last night. We can use the AI chat to see where he was at the time of the crime. The chat will respond and show us the exact location on the map.

AI central command location

Let’s say we have a crime report that tells us the suspect fled the scene at 9:30. Let’s use the timeline tool to go to exactly 9:30. We can see that it matches the report – he’s leaving the bar. Let’s see where he is right now by using the timeline tool to go back to live.

We can use the chat to automate the next steps, such as requesting an arrest warrant and sending units to the area once we receive it.

AI arrest warrant2

The chat will automatically create an action plan and execute the plan for you as soon as you give approval. It’ll notify the relevant parties, execute according to your department’s protocol, and use custom integrations with your current services, allowing you to keep your jurisdiction safe and secure right from the palm of your hand with the Central Command Platform.

Palantir

Palantir is the closest Real-World application of the video’s concept.

Palantir’s platforms (Gotham, Foundry) are used by:

    • police
    • intelligence agencies
    • military
    • border forces

    Capabilities include:

    • linking identities across databases
    • reconstructing timelines
    • mapping movements
    • integrating CCTV feeds
    • predictive policing modules
    • automated workflows

    It can apparently do everything except real-time face search across an entire city. But… they rely on partner systems for that: BriefCam / NeoFace / Avigilon / Hikvision / Clearview / FaceVACS, and others depending on the country etc.

    Palantir is used in 195 countries (04)

    • United States – 1.4k companies
    • United Kingdom – 240 companies
    • India – 76 companies
    • France – 71 companies
    • Germany – 44 companies
    • Canada – 42 companies
    • Spain – 42 companies
    • Australia – 23 companies
    • Netherlands – 21 companies
    • Switzerland – 20 companies

    Palantir in Australia:

    • Palantir employs more than 50 people in Australia and has offices in Canberra and Sydney. (05) (06) (07)
    • As of early 2026, Australia’s Future Fund holds an investment of over $100 million in Palantir shares. (08) (09)
    • In late 2025, Palantir achieved IRAP Protected status in Australia to handle sensitive, government data. Achieving this status in November 2025 allows Palantir to handle far more sensitive data for agencies like the Department of Defence, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), and AUSTRAC. (10) (11)
      • Department of Defence: Palantir has multiple active contracts here, including a significant $7.15 million agreement for “Data Services” running until December 2027. They also recently completed a software-focused contract valued at approximately $4.1 million in late 2025. (12) (13) (14) (15) (16)
      • Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC): Since 2017, Palantir has partnered with AUSTRAC to optimise their use of financial data in support of criminal investigations. They utilize Palantir Technologies’ Gotham and Foundry software platforms. They have an active contract for “Data Analytics capability” valued at over $12 million that runs until June 2027. (17) (18)
      • Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC): Palantir provides software maintenance and support to help the ACIC integrate large-scale data for criminal intelligence. (19) (20)
      • Australian Signals Directorate (ASD): While the ASD oversees Palantir’s security clearances (like the 2025 IRAP Protected status), the agency has also been a historical client for its data fusion capabilities. (21) (22) (23) (24)
      • Digital Transformation Agency (DTA): The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) is a specialist executive agency within the Australian Government’s Finance Portfolio. It serves as the primary advisor to the government on digital and ICT transformation. You can mostly blame these guys for gov apps and websites: Digital ID, myGov (initial management and ongoing strategy), Coronavirus Australia, COVIDSafe, australia.gov.au, BuyICT.gov.au, and anything to do with digitizing government services. It has a standing offer contract with Palantir and other digital services. (25) (26) (27) (28)
      • Victorian Department of Justice and Community Safety (Vic DJCS): This department uses Palantir technology for government administration and justice-related data management. They are using it in the Victorian prison system for some reason (job postings on Seek & uWorkin state “experience with Palantir highly desirable”). And in 2020, the Victorian Department of Health utilized Palantir for a one-month COVID-19 contact tracing proof-of-concept. Good lord. (29) (30)
    • In 2025, Australian Digital Rights Watch wrote: “The company (Palantir) specialises in creating detailed profiles of people by combining large databases about us. They then provide surveillance capability to their customers, including the Israeli Defence Forces and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Amnesty International has reported that, with these programmes, Palantir is facilitating human rights abuse. Australians demand our government respects all human rights, but since 2014 Palantir has charged the Australian government over 37 million dollars.” (31)
    • Palantir’s Foundry and AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) are utilized by major Australian enterprises: (32)

    BriefCam

    BriefCam (owned by Canon) — real-time video analytics (37)

    This is the closest match to the video analysis part of the promo. (38) (39) (40)

    Used by:

    • police departments
    • casinos
    • airports
    • city surveillance networks

    Capabilities:

    • timeline reconstruction
    • person re-identification
      • face recognition
        • “Find this face across all cameras”
      • search by appearance
        • “Find every person wearing red between 2–4pm”
        • “Show every person wearing a hat”
      • search by behaviour
    • object tracking
      • “Show all vehicles that passed this intersection”
      • “Show all people who touched that box”

    BriefCam in Australia

    • Dicker Data, a major Australian security distributor, is an official BriefCam partner and are actively selling and marketing BriefCam to law enforcement and security agencies. When a product is distributed through Dicker Data, it’s typically used by: local councils, transport authorities, universities, police technical units, and private security firms, even if not publicly announced. (41)
    • Australia’s policing and council surveillance systems often avoid naming specific analytics vendors, but they very likely use BriefCam for their video analytics because they use software that supports BriefCam so the deployment of it may not be announced because it’s just a “plugin” to existing systems they use. i.e. The Australian Police force uses Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center and Avigilon Control Center (Motorola). So BriefCam is not publicly confirmed, but is very likely also used in:
      • WA Police: A public record shows that BriefCam software is deployed in Perth’s Smart City surveillance network, and potentially used by WA Police as part of that system since they have access to that network. The Perth deployment involves: Smart city traffic surveillance, video analytics, searchable video metadata, integration with city CCTV, and possible police access. (42)
      • NSW Police: Uses Milestone XProtect, which BriefCam integrates with, and Genetec is also used (43) (44)
      • VIC Police: Uses Genetec Security Center and Milestone XProtect
      • QLD Police: Uses Milestone XProtect in Brisbane’s citywide CCTV network and Genetec is used in transport/critical infrastructure
      • SA/TAS/NT Police: Uses Milestone or Genetec in council CCTV networks and transport hubs, which are usually installed by integrators e.g., Chubb, MSS, JD Security, etc.
      • Local Councils: Councils are the primary owners of CCTV infrastructure, and almost all mid‑to‑large councils use Milestone or Genetec.
      • Transport Sectors: Almost universally run Milestone or Genetic. (Airports, Trains, Ports, Energy/Water/Telco, etc.)

    CommandCentral

    Motorola Solutions / Avigilon — CommandCentral (45) (46) (47) (48) (49)

    This is the most “dashboard-like” system in the real world. Motorola Solutions’ CommandCentral is a unified cloud platform used by police, emergency services, and city surveillance networks. It integrates:

    Capabilities:

    • AI chat
    • warrant workflows
    • live camera feeds
    • license plate recognition
    • officer tracking
    • incident timelines
    • automated dispatch workflows
    • radio locations
    • emergency call data
    • digital evidence
    • map overlays
    CommandCentral resources
    CommandCentral Cad monitor

    This is the closest match to the UI style in the video. On a single map, they can see location and status of radios, cameras, emergency calls, incidents and other resources, connect/view/control real-time camera feeds, trigger workflows and share intelligence across teams.

    CommandCentral communicate

    Motorola Solutions / Avigilon — CommandCentral in Australia

    Motorola Solutions’ CommandCentral is used in Australia, and not in a small way. It’s deployed across multiple layers of Australian public‑safety, security, and “smart city” infrastructure, including police, councils, and private security operators.

    • Motorola Solutions Case Study: WA Police (50)
    • Wilson Security (one of the largest private security contractors in Australia) advertises CommandCentral Aware as a product they install and operate. (51)
    • Critical Comms (an Australian industry publication) covered the launch of the CommandCentral suite in Australia in 2021. (52)

    Motorola Solutions owns Avigilon, and Avigilon Control Center (ACC) + Avigilon cameras integrate directly into CommandCentral Aware. (53)

    Clearview AI

    Clearview = face search from a single image

    • scrapes billions of faces
    • lets police upload a photo and find matches
    • links to social media profiles

    Clearview in Australia

    Australia has used Clearview AI, but its use has been legally condemned, officially banned, and yet still occurs indirectly through loopholes and international partners.

    Genetec

    Genetec’s footprint is very large – especially in Victoria, NSW, and Queensland. Genetec is one of the two dominant VMS (Video Management System) platforms in Australia (the other is Milestone).

    “Gene” “Tech” … really?

    Capabilities:

    • subject / cross‑camera tracking
    • incident reconstruction / timeline reconstruction
    • automated reporting
    • multi‑agency data fusion
    • real‑time dashboards

    Used in Australia by:

    • State and federal government
    • Transport and critical infrastructure (Ports, Rail, Bus, Tunnels, Energy, Utilities, Water)
    • Airports (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide)
    • Universities (University of Melbourne, Monash, UNSW, QUT, University of Queensland, Curtin)
    • Large councils (too many to list)
    • Corporate precincts
    • Private security operations centres (shopping centres, casinos, stadiums, data centres, logistics hubs, private security operations centres)
      • An Australian security integrator JD Security (Sydney-based), list Citigraf as a supported, deployable product for Australian public‑safety agencies. JD Security describes Citigraf as a system that “allows cities, law enforcement, and emergency responders to work together” and provides real‑time situational awareness. (59)
    • Any area/town/city with smart-city CCTV upgrades

    Genetec Addons:

    • Security Center (core platform) This is the “hub” that connects cameras, access control, ALPR, analytics, and all other modules. (60) (61)

    Genetec Modular Addons: (62)

    • Omnicast (video management system)
    • Mission Control (Rules‑based incident automation that guides operators through workflows, escalations, and responses. (63)
    • AutoVu/ALPR (automated licence-plate recognition for fixed cameras, mobile patrol cars, and parking enforcement.) (64)
    • Clearance (digital evidence) (65)
    • Citigraf (real-time crime centre / fusion layer) (66)
    • Synergis (access control that manages doors, card readers, permissions, logs) (67)
    • Stratocast / Security Center SaaS (Cloud‑hosted version of Security Center.) (68)
    • Sipelia (centralized communications coordination) (69)

    (All of these are part of the Genetec suite already widely used in Australia, and are designed to sit on top of these systems, so anywhere that states they use Genetec Security Centre, may also be using any or all of these addons.)

    Genetec Security Center

    Camera platform. When paired with analytics, it becomes the backbone of a surveillance network.

    Genetec Citigraf

    Citigraf is a decision support system that allows cities, law enforcement, and emergency responders to work together to plan for, identify, and respond to events and incidents. This is the most rights‑impacting module in the entire Genetec ecosystem. It correlates incidents across multiple data sources, fuses CCTV, ALPR (automatic licence plate recognition), CAD (live dispatch data from police/security dispatch systems), sensors and historical data, generates automated “insights” and incident linkages, priorities events algorithmically, and creates a city-wide operational picture. So it’s the closest thing to predictive policing (interpreting instead of monitoring behaviour).

    Genetec AutoVu (ALPR)

    ALPR (automated licence-plate recognition) is one of the most intrusive surveillance tools in modern policing:

    • tracks vehicle movements across time
    • builds travel histories
    • flags “hotlists”
    • can be used for mass‑surveillance of ordinary people
    • often deployed without public awareness

    Genetec Mission Control

    Incident automation & operator workflow – which can automate and guide “standardized responses”, escalate “events” based on “rules”, and trigger actions across systems (doors, alarms, cameras, etc.) … it shifts decision-making from humans to a ‘pre-defined logic’, which can embed bias or over-reach automatically.

    Genetec Clearance

    Clearance is a Digital Evidence Management system. The idea is not dangerous, the centralization of evidence is. The risk is not the tool itself but because it aggregates CCTV, bodycam, phone uploads, and third-party footage and enables cross-agency sharing, it creates a “single point of truth” for investigators. Helpful and massively time-saving for law enforcement… if used for good and not abused.

    NeoFace

    NEC NeoFace = government-grade face recognition

    This is the closest match to the “face search – exact match” part. NEC’s “NeoFace” technology can identify a person from a database of 1.6 million people in 0.3 seconds.

    Capabilities:

    • real-time face matching
    • watchlist alerts
    • identity verification

    Used in Australia by:

    Cellebrite / GrayKey

    Cellebrite / GrayKey = device extraction + timeline reconstruction

    This matches the “timeline tool – where was he at 9:30-” part.

    Cellebrite is actively used by Australian police for mobile‑phone extraction and digital forensics, and GrayKey can unlock iPhones that Cellebrite cannot. (83) (84) (85)

    • reconstruct movement
    • extract location history
    • build timelines of events
    Go to top

    If you stitched together:

    • Palantir (data fusion)
    • BriefCam (video analytics)
    • Clearview (face search)
    • Motorola CommandCentral (UI + dispatch)
    • NEC (real-time face matching)

    …you’d get something very close to the video.

    And since there are hundreds of other things being used, that video is already close to the “reality” we live in currently. That video’s a composite of real technologies, being implemented right now across the world. Let’s hope people with power don’t abuse said power… pfft… Who am I trying to kid? :(
