To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:
1) User manuals, handbooks, or comparable instructional documents provided to the department by Fusus regarding the following Fusus products and services:
- FususONE (https://www.fusus.com/rtc3-products/fususone)
- FususCORE (https://www.fusus.com/rtc3-products/fususcore)
- FususREGISTRY (https://www.fusus.com/rtc3-products/fususregistry)
- Fusus AI Video Analytics (https://www.fusus.com/rtc3-products/fusus-ai)
- Fusus Intelligent AI Alerts (https://www.fusus.com/rtc3-products/fusus-ai)
2) Audit logs/audit trails documenting each time a department account has accessed live or recorded video footage through the Fusus platforms from 1/1/2024 until the date this request is processed.
3) Metadata for each Intelligent AI Alert generated by the department's Fusus system from 1/1/2024 until the date this request is processed. Fusus Intelligent AI Alerts automatically notify authorized users when Fusus AI-connected cameras detect pre-defined events (e.g. a fight) or profiles (e.g. a vehicle of interest). Please note that I am not requesting the video footage or any personally identifying information associated with the alert, but rather the metadata. Metadata may include, but is not limited to: the type of alert, the date and time of the alert, who received the alert, locations associated with the alert, and algorithmic confidence scores associated with the alert. This metadata should be stored in a database and so I ask that you provide it to me as a .csv, .xls, or other database filetype.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
e
