CCTV DVR Data Recovery Services

Security has become an essential and unavoidable factor in this new age. From our house to the workplace, schools, offices, shops, banks, parks, traffic signals, and even highways, security in the form of CCTV cameras has been installed and used for various purposes. For monitoring in house activity, protection from strangers and vandalizers, keeping an eye on suspicious activity, sudden events, and accidents, CCTV has proven to be the best security solution. Due to the importance of the information held by CCTV DVR, it’s a recovery in case of data loss is also of prime importance. Hence, we offer efficient, and cost-effective CCTV-DVR data recovery services.

CCTV Specifications:

CCTV as a unit consists of Cameras, connectors, video monitors, and storage devices along with multiplexers and sensors. CCTV records surveillance videos. They can be directly attached storage (DAS), Storage area network (SAN), or network-attached storage (NAS). Each of them has its advantages and can be chosen as per the client requirement. For DAS, single or multiple HDDs are used for storing video recordings. They cannot be shared directly and have a limited Field of View (FOV). NAS and SAN can store recordings over large distances and FOV coming from multiple cameras. Different interfaces are used as per the storage solution. Multiplexers are used for converting analog and digital back and forth for recording, and monitoring.

Recording Media Specifications:

For recording the video different cameras are available like Fixed Cameras, PTZ (PAN, TILT, and ZOOM) cameras, Night vision cameras, thermal recognition cameras, etc. Again, the choice of camera depends on the need for clarity, surrounding environment, level of severity of the situation for recording, and of course, budget.

Conditions For CCTV Data Recovery:

CCTV surveillance is used in critical situations as proof, to find details, find specific people, vehicles, etc. Each CCTV records video, and through connecting interfaces, cables, or the Internet, they store it over a storage device. Some DVR cameras are also available with inbuilt memory in the form of SD cards.

 

So, it comes to Storage devices to retain this information. The period over which this data can be stored is prefixed and called a cycle. After the cycle completes, the oldest of the files start getting overwritten. As per the capacity of the hard drive, and the number of cameras, this cycle can be varied. So, if the cycle is for 15 Days for a 1TB hard drive, which is storing the recording of 10 DVRs, on day 16 files for 1st-day recording will be overwritten by 16th-day recording. Overwritten data is not recoverable. It is important to note that going throughout the cycle is not the only way to lose CCTV footage.

Reasons Of Data Loss In CCTV

CCTV videos or images are automatically saved in hard drives, SSD, and other storage media devices. Here are some of the common reasons which can put the CCTV surveillance HDD/DVR data at risk:

  • Environmental conditions: Installation of CCTV cameras can be required in different surroundings e.g. they can be installed indoors, outdoor, in high-temperature regions, near water, etc. Under extreme surrounding conditions, stored video files may be lost due to storage device failure.

  • Theft: CCTV footage is used as proof for legal matters, so the possibility of their theft is very likely.

  • Lack of timely backup: If exceeded the cycle of recording, old data is overwritten. So timely backups are necessary before that happens.

  • Improper maintenance: DVR camera, its connectors, and interfaces should be maintained and monitored as per the guidelines in manuals for a better lifespan.

  • Virus attacks: For CCTV using network storage, tempering stored data and cameras is done via the Internet. An HDD can be corrupted by generating an electromagnetic field even for directly attached storage.
