DVR Examiner is a software solution for the recovery of video and metadata from DVR surveillance systems in a forensically sound manner. This “game changing” software can help save your team time and money when recovering video evidence by  recovering data directly from the DVR, bypassing passwords to recover video, including deleted video, from a suspect DVR.

Forensic DVR Data Recovery with DVR Examiner

Access the DVR Hard Drive

By accessing the surveillance DVR hard drive directly, DVR Examiner is able to bypass any system passwords and recover data from non-functioning systems.

Detect and Identify the DVR Filesystem

DVR Examiner is able to identify the proprietary DVR filesystem used by the surveillance system, which means you do not need to know the make or model of the DVR.

Scan and Identify Video

DVR Examiner scans the hard drive to identify recoverable clips. Users can easily sort or filter the clip list to identify the video you need.

Preview and Locate the Incident

Easily watch the DVR video within DVR Examiner, eliminating any need for external DVR Players. Our integration with iNPUT-ACE allows users to easily enhance and analyze the video.

DVR Examiner features video player

Integrated Video Player

Traditional DVR data recovery leaves you with hundreds, if not thousands, of proprietary DVR video files. DVR Examiner makes it easy to view, analyze, and categorize these videos in the integrated video player.

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.

Use tags to easily mark and locate video clips based on information that is important to your case.

dvr examiner features motion analytics

Motion Analytics

When faced with hundreds or thousands of video clips, it can be difficult to determine which video to review first. DVR Examiner’s new Motion Analytics Engine [beta] enables you to easily identify which clips to review first based on motion activity.

Receive a list of motion events and easily jump to the video that matters.

Filter and sort video using the identified level of motion in each clip to highlight which video clips have the most action.

Use DVR Examiner’s proprietary motion score to identify which clips have more motion activity relative to other clips.

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.
