iVe v3.0 Release

iVe 3.0 – Accessibility Redefined

The release of version 3.0 brings together all aspects of the iVe Ecosystem and centralizes the vehicle forensic process. You now have the ability to securely access the contents of your collections wherever you are and easily collaborate with other investigators, prosecutors, and clients.

Centralized Dashboard

Starting with the release of version 3.0, in both the forensic software and mobile app, all aspects of the forensic process are combined and presented via a vehicle dashboard. This provides a comprehensive snapshot for each vehicle being investigated and the ability to track where it is in the process of identifying, acquiring, and analyzing systems within the vehicle. Learn more about the centralized dashboard in our feature focus blog.

Accessible Collections

When you conduct an acquisition with iVe Software, version 3.0 or higher, the contents of your collection will be packaged into an iVx file, encrypted with your unique key, and pushed to all of your devices. You can now view and analyze the contents of your collection without being at your computer. Learn more about the content viewer in the ‘Accessible Collections’ feature focus blog.

 

Secure Sharing

You can empower other investigators, prosecutors, and clients by giving them read-only access to the data acquired from vehicle systems. When you share a vehicle, the contents of the collection are encrypted with the recipient’s unique key, and only the intended recipient can access the data. Secure sharing allows for quick and easy collaboration through the identification, acquisition, and analysis of vehicle data when it matters most.
