Forensic analysis of night-vision camera data – the forensic use of infrared and night-vision systems
Night-vision and infrared camera systems aid in the detection of people and obstacles in the dark and, in certain system architectures, can cache event-triggered recordings or detection logs.
Whether and to what extent image data is actually stored varies greatly depending on the manufacturer and is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We inspect installed night-vision systems for any image or recognition data stored on them and back up the available data in a manner that is forensically traceable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a night-vision camera analysis works
Once the system has been classified from a technical perspective, a check is carried out to determine whether and where image or recognition data is temporarily stored. Existing data is backed up and chronologically organised.
Why is night-vision camera analysis relevant in a forensic context?
In the event of collisions in poor visibility, any available image or detection data can provide important additional evidence.
As many systems are primarily designed for real-time detection, the actual data availability is always thoroughly assessed in advance from a technical perspective.
