The amount of data captured on CCTV cameras in the UK every day is more than resides on the entire Internet. Yet, this is only one type of digital evidence, that includes covert video, photography and audio. The task of retrieving, managing and storing this information is becoming a major challenge.
Towards effective Digital Evidence Management
The goal of all Digital Evidence Management systems must be to deliver evidential quality information in the format it is required, when it is required.

The world's first video evidence database
Scyron was the first company to introduce a 'video database' in 2005. It enabled the storage of vast quantities of digital evidence. More importantly, it allowed that information to be tagged for fast analysis, review and presentation. Since then, we have added advanced content management, archiving, search and intelligent retrieval to the system to make it the only solution to manage all types of digital information simultaneously.The sheer volume of information is only part of the issue. The move from analogue to digital technology has added new levels of complexity to retrieving evidence. There are any number of incompatible formats used in the recording of CCTV footage. Scyron's video extraction solution can accept data from almost any source, learn new formats and supply the output in a single PC-based format. This requires minimal operator training.
