STREETWITNESS

RECORD POWER. PROTECT PEOPLE.

Footage uploads as you record. If your phone is taken or damaged, the record still exists.

No accounts. No tracking. No surveillance.

HOW IT WORKS

Record in public spaces
Uploads in real-time chunks
Stored on IPFS, stripped of device metadata
Preserved as public record

DESIGNED FOR ANONYMITY

NO ACCOUNTSAccess via invite code only. Blind signatures mean the server can't link your token to the code that created it.

NO TRACKINGNo cookies, no analytics, no telemetry, no third-party code. Your IP address is never stored or logged.

METADATA STRIPPEDDevice info, timestamps, and GPS tags embedded in the video file are removed during processing.

LOCATION REDUCEDGPS coordinates are truncated to ~100m precision. Videos are placed at the block level, not a specific address.

Even if the database were seized, there is no mapping from videos to uploaders.

IMPOSSIBLE TO SUPPRESS

ENCRYPTED ON ARRIVALEvery recording is locked the moment it lands, using threshold cryptography spread across a decentralised network. No single party holds the key.

AUTOMATIC RELEASE AFTER 14 DAYSEvery video enters the public record 14 days after upload. Same rule for everything, no exceptions.

EARLY ACCESS FOR PRESSJournalists, researchers, and legal teams can unlock footage during the 14-day window via paid tokens or invite codes.

Planned feature. See the technical page for why StreetWitness uses a 14-day delay before public release.

EVIDENCE SURVIVES THE ENCOUNTER

Uploads happen immediately as you record. If your phone is smashed, seized, or the connection drops, the chunks already uploaded are not lost. An automated recovery process finds orphaned recordings and assembles whatever footage exists into a published video.

Videos are stored on IPFS — a decentralised network where content is independently verifiable. The entire archive can be reconstructed by any third party without cooperation from the operator.
