Cover every detective in your department on one invoice.
Canvless is a shared map of the security cameras investigators have already found: where each one is, which way it looks, how long it keeps footage, and who to ask. A department plan covers everyone verified on your email domain, billed once a year.

Three sizes, billed yearly.
Each tier covers up to that many accounts at your department, officers and civilian staff alike, including the people you hire later. Officers who were paying on their own are not charged again; the time they already paid for simply runs out.
The first ten departments keep their price for three years. Plans renew each year at the size your department is then, so growing during the year costs nothing until renewal. We send the renewal invoice 30 days ahead, and access continues for 30 days after the renewal date while a purchase order works its way through. The details are in section 4 of the terms.
The map on their phone, and on a computer at the desk.
An admin of your own, and a log of everything.
You name a department admin. They sign in on canvless.app and see your officers, their status and the cameras they added. You choose what the admin may do: pause and unpause an officer the day they leave, edit or remove their officers' cameras, and verify cameras they know are there. An admin can also be set over one unit inside the department, or placed under the department admin.
Every action by an admin or an officer is written to an audit log under their name: every map view, every camera added, checked or edited, every phone enrolled or moved, and every screenshot taken while the map was open. If something ever got out, it traces to an account.
Officers verify themselves. Nearly 900 police agencies are pre-verified by their email domain, so an address on your domain gets in with the emailed code alone. Officers on a shared town address or a personal email verify with GovX ID in about a minute, or you send us a roster and we approve them by name.
- Email us your headcount and your email domains
[email protected] for a quote or a demo; the Get a quote button lists what to send. The headcount picks the size; tell us who the department admin will be.
- We send an invoice, or accept your purchase order
Through Stripe, with a W-9 on request and a sole-source letter if your purchasing rules ask for one.
- The day it is paid, everyone on your domain is covered
Officers already verified are covered that minute, and new hires the moment they verify. Personal subscriptions are not charged again. The plan runs a year from that day, and we invoice the renewal 30 days before it ends.
- Send a roster if you want personal addresses included
Officers you name skip verification and are covered by the plan, whatever address they use.
It is a notebook about cameras. Not a case file.
Canvless holds the location of a camera, which way it faces, what kind it is, how long it keeps footage, how to get it and who to ask, plus the checks and edits officers made. It holds no case numbers, no footage, no incident details and nothing from a police database, and there is no field to put them in. Officers are told so at every turn, and the terms forbid it.
Each account works on one phone at a time, enrolled with the phone's own secure key. A lost phone is cut off from the account page in a minute. The map only loads what is in front of the officer, there is no bulk export for officers, and every screen carries the officer's name as a watermark. Data is hosted in the United States. We do not sell or advertise with any of it, and we delete an account on request.
Whether a records request could reach a vendor-held investigative notebook, and whether a security-measures exemption applies, is a question for your county counsel. We will not assert an answer for you; once counsel has written our position, we share it on request. The privacy policy and the terms say the rest in full.
Straight answers.
Do our officers have to do anything?
Sign in with their department email once, on the website or in the free app. If the address is on your domain, that is the whole process. Officers on other addresses verify with GovX or are named on your roster.
What happens when an officer leaves?
Your admin pauses them that day and their map locks at once. If you tell us instead, we close the account the same day. Nothing they added is lost; their cameras stay on the map for the next detective.
What if we grow past our size?
Nothing changes during the year. Your admin console and ours both count the accounts your plan covers, and the renewal is priced at the size your department is then.
Can we get an invoice, a W-9 and vendor forms?
Yes. The invoice comes from Stripe and can be paid by card, bank transfer or check. We fill out vendor registration forms and provide a W-9 on request. Email [email protected].
Can the admin see what our detectives looked at?
No. The admin sees their officers' accounts, status and cameras, and every action the admin takes is logged. The audit log itself, including map views, is held by Canvless and used only to trace a leak.
What if we stop renewing, or Canvless shuts down?
If you don't renew, coverage ends 30 days after the renewal date and officers can keep going on their own subscriptions; every camera your detectives added stays on the map. If Canvless ever shuts down, we give at least 60 days' notice and refund the unused part of the year you paid for.
Can we try it first?
Yes. Any detective can subscribe on their own for $3.99 a month today and cancel any time, and the whole department can see it in a ten-minute screen share before anyone signs anything.
Ten minutes on a screen share is enough to see it.
Nobody in your department pays before their status is verified, and nobody has to install anything on your systems.
