CCTV Forensics

With the increasing cases of theft, burglary, accidents and other crimes, CCTVs (Close-Circuit Television) are equipped almost everywhere from grocery shops to even streets for providing video surveillance in order to improve our security. Further, all the governmental and private workplaces as well as homes too are equipped with CCTVs for safety, security and other purposes. CCTV records the crimes and criminals that helps in Crime Scene Investigation as well as in the identification of the perpetrator. However, the video quality of CCTV recording/footage is often of poor quality and hence require enhancement to provide clarity of events. Further, the criminals in order to save themselves from getting caught attempt to manipulate or tamper CCTV recordings. This has paved way for the emergence of CCTV Forensics.

CCTV Forensics deals with the following:

• CCTV recording/footage enhancement to improve the quality of the footage
• CCTV event analysis to analyse the series of events as well as track the movement of an individual or establish his/her role in the concerned event.
• Extraction of audio, video or photograph evidence from CCTV recording/footage for forensic analysis.
• Facial Mapping to identify an individual by analysing, measuring and mapping his/her unique features.
• CCTV Video Authenticity to identify whether the CCTV recording has been manipulated or tampered.
• Digital Data Retrieval restores damaged, deleted or overwritten CCTV video evidence.
