There is more Digital & Multimedia Evidence (DME) than any other type of evidence today.
Working together we've expedited tens of thousands of criminal investigations. Learn more
Those who have been recovering video evidence from CCTV systems for any length of time know that every case starts as a research project. In some cases DCCTV evidence is submitted with little or no information about the recording device. In other cases the entire device may be submitted, but more often than not it’s submitted without any manuals or documentation.
Computerworld - Microsoft's free previews of Windows 8 will expire next month, giving users about three weeks to upgrade to a paid copy or face hourly restarts.
It's finally done folks. The DVR database has been completely migrated to the Media-Geek Wiki, so it's time to say goodbye to our antiquated, non-integrated friend. Cheer up though, because during manual data migration I had to verify links and cross reference listings, and in doing so I added roughly ten additional current listings. Additionally, over the weekend I added exactly ten new proprietary viewers/players to our Downloads section.
USB 3.0 is undoubtedly the future, but tests conducted by Techworld suggest that laptop users in particular might need to upgrade their hardware to see much benefit over current technologies such as eSATA.
Have you heard? Adobe has long supported hardware accelerated playback in Premiere Pro, but now you can also leverage it for encoding H.264 & H.265 and literally save hours when encoding (in some cases)!
Check it out yourself, if you're using Premiere Pro. Make it a great day my friends!
Digital signatures enable paperless contracts and can speed up business transactions. The 2001 E-Sign Act was meant to ease the adoption of electronic signatures, yet the mechanics of what makes up an e-signature were left deliberately wide open.
It's 2:30 am EST and I'm testing browser compatibility. What's wrong with this picture? Anyway, I've tested most of the new member area functionality with IE7 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.7 and above; so if you're using the latest from either you're golden!
I've also tested IE6 extensively and noted a few issues related to layout, predominantly due to IE6 and IE5.5 not digging the use of PNG files At some point I may go back and resolve these issues either through "creative code" or simply converting the images to GIFs, but that likely won't be for several weeks. Hey, why not just update your darn browser already...they're both free you know!!! 🤪
Maybe you just use the reporting capabilities from your tool of choice to produce PDF forensic reports, and that's great if it's working for you. Acrobat Pro can do so much more than many realize, and I've used it for many years to create interactive reports & demonstratives.
Stumbled on another story this morning about the imminent demise of Adobe Flash & how Adobe just removed it from Acrobat Reader & Pro via critical security bug fixes. Given all the news lately about Flash's scheduled & long-planned demise, it made me wonder if folks would be interested in a Webinar or Meeting on using Acrobat Pro for reports & demonstratives.
To that end, I've posted a member poll in our Community Forums on the topic. Let me know your thoughts by voting on the topic the next time you log-in.
As always, thanks for your valuable time and participation my friends! Be safe out there. ?

The HP Elite HPE570t comes standard with 8GB DDR3 memory, a 1.5-terabyte hard drive, a 1GB ATI Radeon hard drive--and Intel's latest and greatest CPU. We recently tested the Intel Core i7-2600 quad-core processor, previously code-named Sandy Bridge; read "Lab Tested: Intel’s Sandy Bridge CPUs Deliver Blazing Speed and Energy Savings" for our verdict.
Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who attended LEVA’s Annual Training Conference in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last week. It’s always great to see everyone face-to-face, and as usual the information sharing and peer networking the conference facilitates was priceless. I only wish I could’ve enjoyed more of the evening social events, but unfortunately a few factors prevented me from doing so.
Adobe has announced a new suite of mobile applications for content creators that will allow users to do graphical work on tablet devices like the iPad. Adobe is also launching a new Web service called Adobe Creative Cloud that can be used to sync and share content between devices.
Jonathan Lewin, Chicago’s managing deputy director of public safety, believes that video cameras help officers protect citizens — and he has numbers to back up his claim. The Chicago Police Department says that Operation Virtual Shield, the city’s network of public and private surveillance cameras, has led to more than 5,500 camera-related arrests since 2006.
