How We Can Help
DVR systems use proprietary file formats and modified file systems that are not read by Windows. We have proprietary software capable of identifying and extracting video streams (H.264, H.265) directly from the hard drive, even after formatting or attempted evidence deletion.

- DVR HDD was formatted

DVR Recovery FAQ
Can you recover deleted footage from a DVR?
Yes, we can often recover deleted footage by scanning the hard drive for video stream patterns, even if the file system index was cleared.
My DVR was damaged by fire. Can you still get the images?
If the hard drive platters inside are not warped by heat or contaminated, we can likely recover the data in our Class 100 lab.
