What is forensic CCTV analysis?

CCTV forensics is the analysis of video footage captured on a specific CCTV (closed-circuit television) system. This is achieved using specialist software and forensic methodology to ensure the admissibility of the digital evidence. Whether there are single or multiple cameras attached to the system, digital forensic experts can capture all relevant footage within a specified timeframe. CCTV analysis can help confirm the identification of individuals, vehicles, and the time of day, or for evidencing a timeline of events.

The analysis will culminate in a presentation alongside an expert report and statement ready for use in court. All specific information relating to the investigation is identified, coinciding with times and dates from the CCTV systems. The acquired digital evidence can assist both prosecution and defence in establishing a case’s accurate timeline of events.
