CCTV & DVR Data Recovery for Public Sector

When your CCTV DVR fails

Surveillance systems overwrite themselves on a loop and often use proprietary file systems that ordinary tools can't read. When a DVR fails or footage is deleted, the clock is already ticking. We read the recorder's disks directly and return footage with time stamps intact.

Recovery for agencies, schools, courts, utilities and public safety — with chain of custody, audit-ready documentation and procurement-friendly terms.

What we recover

• DVR and NVR hard drives (Hikvision, Dahua, Avigilon, Milestone)
• Proprietary surveillance file systems

• Footage needed for investigations or claims
