Class Outline

In 2016, on Saturday September 17 at 8:30 PM an explosion occurs on West 23rd Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. Twenty-nine people were injured in the explosion. A second potential device was located on West 27th street which was safely removed and analyzed. Video surveillance was retrieved from the surrounding areas and released with requests for the public’s assistance in identifying an individual that was seen in the area where the explosion and second device was found. Shortly thereafter, a bar owner sees and recognizes the person in the released images and calls police. The suspect is arrested Monday, September 19.

Video surveillance has been helping law enforcement agencies around the world investigate, identify and prosecute suspects in a wide variety of cases.  Today Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) used in Digital Closed-Circuit Television Systems are the recorder of choice. These systems record and store digital video on to hard drives as opposed to analog video tapes and while digital systems do offer advantages, many law enforcement agencies are having a difficult time collecting this digital video evidence. Without the proper tools and the appropriate procedures for recovering digital video evidence, the video may be ineffectual, degraded in quality, or simply lost.

Digital Video Evidence Recovery Seminar presented by Resolution Video is designed to aid the investigator in understanding the best practices for recovering video evidence from DVRs. Methods of recovering digital video evidence will be discussed and demonstrated. Additionally available tools for recovering video evidence will be shown as well as the must haves for a digital video evidence retrieval kit.

This workshop is appropriate for first responders, crime scene specialists, criminal investigators, and forensic video analysts who recover, review and/or analyze video evidence from Digital Video Security Systems.
