## Outputs and measurements for crime scene documentation

### 3D Overlay

Stack an interior model on the exterior drone model in one viewer so investigators walk the whole scene without switching files.

### Line of Sight

Place up to two observer points and see visible areas in green and blocked areas in red. Included with Pro models and Public Safety & Enterprise.

### Case Gallery and Image Walkthroughs

Attach evidence photos to annotations and open auto-generated images along the capture path for finer detail.

### Security and custody

Hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) with CJIS compliance maintained for Public Safety & Enterprise subscribers. Model access, user actions, and sharing are logged.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can SkyeBrowse map the inside of a building at a crime scene?

Yes. Record slow, steady video with a phone, 360 camera, or FPV drone, turn on the Interior Mapping toggle at upload, and use the Scale Tool with a known measurement when the video has no GPS data.

### Is SkyeBrowse CJIS compliant?

SkyeBrowse is hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) and full CJIS compliance is maintained for Public Safety & Enterprise subscribers.
