How To Acquire Video Data With MD-VIDEO From HancomGMD

Due to the rapidly growing need for securing safe environments around the world, digital surveillance systems have become ubiquitous. A significant number of new surveillance systems are installed each year, and the importance of acquiring actionable data from these systems is growing across the globe. 

According to a recent statistic, the amount of surveillance video data being recovered annually jumped by 66% between 2017 and 2018. With the volume of video data increasing at such dramatic rates, it’s clear that law enforcement agencies require a solution for acquiring and handling this type of data in a forensically sound way.

Due to the epic scale of the video data involved in investigations, support for a variety of media formats is a top priority for any video forensic solution. MD-VIDEO supports video data acquired from a number of different devices: IP-CCTVs, dashboard cameras, smartphones, desktops, cameras, camcorders, drones, and wearable devices. Moreover, MD-VIDEO also supports various DVR filesystems, such as those used by HikVision, Dahua, Zhiling, Samsung, Bosch, Honeywell, Sony, and Panasonic. 

We are very excited to introduce our video recovery solution, MD-VIDEO. Please consult the following demonstration on video acquisition and recovery. MD-VIDEO is easy to use and is sure to dramatically improve your digital video investigations.
