Handheld, portable, easy to use imaging technology.
Hybrid-Spectral Imaging System: multi-spectral and hyper-spectral in a single device, able to be used in bright sunlight or darkened conditions without impacting performance. BlindSite Scene can search, locate, identify and capture evidence from hundreds of non-porous and porous surfaces, in a rapid, easy-to-use imaging system.
- Fully automated with autofocus, autoexposure, automated evidence modes
- Use in bright sunlight or in the dark
- Working distance: 15 cm to infinity – never touch the surface – recommended maximum distance of 2 metres, fingermark evidence detectable at distances great than 6 metres
- Use at an angle or perpendicular to a surface
- Image still from secondary scene camera taken at same time as evidence image capture
- Surface background removal – remove background for better contrast or keep background for context
- Secondary scene recording camera (bodycam concept) continually recording a colour video of scene during use
- 8 Aperture stops for use on flat and curved surfaces to bring the entire curved surface into focus (including shell casings)
- Connectivity and compatibility with Case Management Systems
- Can be used for covert operations, intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance
- Faster and more precise scene processing
- Evidence image automatically overlayed onto scene still to show location in scene of where evidence was located
- Non-contact digital scalebar – no need for a physical ruler or scale during image capture; no cross-contamination or DNA analysis issues
- Real-time image analysis tools, including histogram and gain adjustments, for improved image contrast
- Rechargeable and reusable battery
- Optional in-built AFIS for immediate identification of a suspect
- Use on hundreds or porous and non-porous surfaces: flat, curved, smooth, stippled, folds, angled, edges, shiny (i.e. mirrors), background light (i.e. windows, TV turned on, phone screen turned on)
- Lightweight (approx. 2kg), handheld (approx. 23x18x13 cm) and durable
- Logged and recorded metadata
- All evidence saved directly to SD Card (maximum 1.5Tb) – no internal storage
BlindSite Scene Versions

BlindSite Scene
Fingermarks Lite
Optimized to search, locate and capture latent fingermarks on non-porous surfaces and trace DNA. Integrating high sensitivity performance targeting absorption, fluorescence, reflectance and scatter of fingermark deposits, as well as the surface they are deposited on, providing high contrast visualization. Includes the integration and combination of hyperspectral and multispectral imaging for high contrast capture of latent fingermarks and trace DNA.

Latent Fingermark Evidence

Non-contact non-destructive, removing human error associated with current physical and chemical fingermark techniques
BlindSite can recover high quality latent fingermarks from hundreds of different porous and non-porous surfaces without any prior physical or chemical enhancements needed, including electronics, mobile phones, metals, plastics, glass, household fixtures & fittings, and many others. BlindSite also hosts its own AFIS providing a two-step process to identify an individual directly at the scene:
- An immediate quality assessment of the captured latent fingermark
- Immediately run the captured latent fingermark through the hosted database for rapid ID – no need for an internet or wireless connection to perform in-the-field
In-built AFIS for quality determination and rapid exemplar database comparison

Post-Blast Fingermarks

Non-contact-non-destructive, preserving evidence for further analyses, such as DNA and post-blast residue
BlindSite has the highest success rate on the market for recovering fingermarks from post-blast IED fragments and debris.
BlindSite demonstrates that fingermark evidence can be captured at terrorist incidents, bombings and post-blast scenes, providing critical evidential information on prospective suspects.
Fingermarks are the only evidence type to prove someone touched an IED – providing the strongest proof available to connect someone with these atrocities.
BlindSite can also target and locate Trace DNA on post-blast fragments and debris, providing a targeted approach for DNA recovery, improving the quality of the DNA and the speed to obtaining fragile biological information as quickly as possible, improving the chances of successful analysis.
Through the remote deployment on an EOD robot, or by an EOD officer, BlindSite can be used to recover fingermarks from suspected IEDs before they are rendered safe.

Body Fluids

Non-contact-non-destructive, preserving DNA, reducing human error, and removing cross-contamination
BlindSite can search, locate, visualize and capture body fluids at the scene. No chemical or enhancements are needed – no specialist lights sources or goggles. Can be used in bright daylight or in dark conditions. This provides a scene of crime officer with rapid, targeted examination of a scene, including blood and semen.
Blood
Unique detection of both blood absorption and fluorescence – increases the chances of locating blood spots or spatter that are not visible using other techniques

- Locate, target, visualize and capture trace DNA
- Can be used at scene or in the lab
- Works on porous and non-porous materials and surfaces
- Faster, targeted, high quality DNA recovery
