As such, Clarifying has an emphasis on the technical surveillance and forensic disciplines with specialties in audio and video. In addition to manufacturing its own line of audio/video collection and filtering products, Clarifying provides training on technical surveillance and forensic filtering, custom integration of tactical and laboratory filtering systems, consulting, and enhancement bureau services.

Where appropriate and applicable, Clarifying offers selected versions of these products and services to others, such as the aerospace, defense, and astronomical communities, as products. Clarifying also licenses its technology to other companies for use in their products and services.

Clarifying Technologies Inc. is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. A sister company, Clarifying Technologies Ltd., is headquartered in Wales, UK (VAT Registration Number: 821 7822 33; Address: Unit 31, DDole Road, Enterprise Park, LLandrindod Wells, Powys, LD1 6DF).

Our People
Our staff has many years of combined expertise in disciplines vital to law enforcement and security requirements, including technical surveillance, media forensics, analog and digital signal processing (i.e. filtering), user interface design and development, and training.

Our Sales Network
Clarifying works closely with its customers, particularly involving engineering services, consulting and training.  In addition, we also reach out to the wider community through our network of dealers and business partners.  Through this network, we are able to provide local sales and support to international customers, subject to applicable export control regulations.

 

Our Technology Focus
At Clarifying, we are primarily focused on audio and video technology, including:

•    Audio filtering: we research, develop, and manufacture advanced live and post-production noise reduction filtering software and systems.  Our filters are optimized for extracting speech and other desired sounds in the most challenging of situations.
•    Speaker Identification: we research, develop, and manufacture speaker identification (ID) & verification software and systems for security and forensic applications.
•    Microphone arrays: we research, develop, and manufacture analog and digital microphone arrays for detecting activity or capturing desired sounds in noisy environments and across long distances. 
•    Multi-channel audio recorders: as a result of our microphone array work, we have developed a portable, battery powered 64-channel audio recording system that is based on VOIP (Voice Over IP) technology.  Using VOIP allows the recorder to be conveniently remoted via wired and wireless Ethernet networks.
•    High-end optics: through our partnerships in Russia, we develop and deliver optical systems customized for use with CCD cameras, night vision equipment, and lasers.  Our clients use these systems to obtain ID-quality photographs at long distances (e.g. in excess of 1 km).
•    Accelerometers: working with another of our partners, we developed the best performing commercially available wide-band accelerometer.  These sensors can be used singly or in networks for detecting activity from long ranges or collecting speech through various materials.
•    Video filtering: we manufacture and integrate post-production, analog and digital video filtering suites for our forensic laboratory customers.
