Source summary
Develop a vendor-agnostic DVR/NVR forensic workflow supporting at least five or six major manufacturers. Identify devices, acquire forensic images, parse proprietary storage/video, recover deleted footage, normalise timestamps and correlate cameras. Preserve hashes and custody records, add AI face/object/motion analysis and generate standard reports. Deliver OEM comparison, prototype/images, SOPs, validation and manuals. Evidential reliability and legal admissibility are goals requiring validation, not properties guaranteed by a tool.
