CCTV Forensics

If you have CCTV evidence you need to use in a court of law, the Engineers and Analysts at Disklabs are able to ensure that it can be forensically used. Understanding ACPO’s, (Association of Chief Police Officers), guidelines, ensures that all work undertaken by the CCTV Forensics team at Disklabs is admissible in a court of law – for both prosecution and defence.

The CCTV Forensics Team at Disklabs are able to convert video files into a useable format, alternatively, they are able to assist in making the images viewable, using various hardware tools.

CCTV Forensics is an emerging discipline within the Digital Forensics world. As the United Kingdom has the most CCTV units in the UK, (20% of the worlds CCTV units). Statistics state that each person in London is captured on CCTV 300 times per day. Outside of London, in Birmingham and Manchester, people can expect to be caught on CCTV between 50 and 100 times per day. (2009).

Because of the above information, CCTV forensics is becoming more and more important. Evidence from CCTV units are often crucial in bringing evidence for either prosecution or defence teams in legal cases. Having the data is one thing, being able to legally use it is another. This is where the CCTV Forensics team at Disklabs are able to assist.
