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.

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.
