CCTV / DVR Data Recovery

Recovery assessment for CCTV, DVR and NVR storage

Video-recording systems typically depend on one or more storage devices to retain footage. If recordings become inaccessible because of storage failure, corruption, formatting or another data-loss event, the case can be assessed from the affected media.

Common CCTV / DVR / NVR situations

  • The recorder no longer recognises one or more storage drives.
  • Recorded video cannot be accessed or exported normally.
  • The storage has been formatted or reinitialised.
  • The file system or recording structure is damaged or inaccessible.
  • A storage drive has failed or become unstable.

Preserve the source media

Avoid repeatedly initialising, formatting or writing new recordings to the affected storage where recovery is required. Continued recording can overwrite previously stored data.

Inspection fee

The current inspection/evaluation fee is Rs. 6,000 per HDD for CCTV / DVR / NVR recovery cases. Inspection fees are non-refundable. Recovery/service charges, where applicable, are quoted separately after assessment.
