Missing timestamps for your video? DVR Examiner can overlay critical (and correct) metadata into the preview for you.

Need to send a BOLO? Need to easily share DVR video with a prosecutor? Easily save a still image or an openly playable video clip.

Trying to recover critical audio evidence? On supported systems, DVR Examiner can recover recorded audio from the DVR.

Commonly Supported Systems

Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine which proprietary filesystem is used within a given make or model of DVR so we are not able to provide a complete list of supported systems. Below, we have highlighted some of the most common types of systems that DVR Examiner supports, but the easiest way to find out if your system is supported is to try our free trial!

Just wanted to let you know that I received DVR Examiner today and one of my Analysts was immediately able to put it to the test with a Swann DVR he’s been working on that was password protected with no password available for it. Wouldn’t you know it, he plugged it into DVR Examiner and was immediately able to retrieve video from the DVR’s hard drive.
