Council meetings and video minutes

THE CHALLENGE

Minutes take hours, and citizens never make it to the session

Regulations require digital minutes, the opposition and the press demand access, and the clerk's office spends days transcribing sessions almost nobody watched.

  • Drafting the minutes takes days

    Transcribing interventions and tracking votes is manual, repetitive work for the clerk's office.

  • Broadcasting requires technical staff

    Cameras, directing and sound for every session, extraordinary and long ones included.

  • The content is not searchable

    A four-hour video with no index is useless to the press, the opposition and the citizen alike.

WHAT IT IS

Two solutions you can buy together or separately

cinfo supplies the streaming system — audiovisual equipment in the chamber plus cloud software to broadcast and record — and the digital video minutes, with its own web portal, agenda indexing and hash-guaranteed integrity.

Automatic broadcasting with no camera operators, driven by the microphones, with optional manual directing.

A concise clerk's record plus a hash-certified video signed by the council.

A custom web portal, embeddable or indexable from the municipal site.

Modular, open software, with no licence lock-in.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What clerks and IT departments ask

Do the video minutes meet the regulations?

Yes. The system meets the legal requirements for digital minutes: a concise record is drafted and a hash-coded document certifying the validity and integrity of the video is generated and signed by the council.

Is technical staff needed at each session?

No. Broadcasting is automatic, driven by the chamber's microphones. Manual directing is optional and done remotely from a browser.

What if the internet drops?

Local audio and video recording starts automatically and allows the session to be post-produced. With an on-premise server, the recording is also redundant.

Can it be browsed by agenda item?

Yes. The video is indexed: the portal gives direct access to each agenda item, each intervention, the voting results and the transcript.

Is it accessible?

It supports subtitles, transcription, picture in picture for a sign language interpreter and parallel feeds with their own audio for simultaneous translation.

Are we locked into the licence?

No. It is modular, open software with integration paths into the administration's systems. We do not lock clients into the licence.
