Forensic reconstruction of live-stream data from drones – Forensic analysis of transmitted real-time video data
Some drones transmit video footage in real time to a connected device whilst in flight, without this footage necessarily having to be stored permanently on the drone itself.
If such a live broadcast has been cached or recorded on the receiving device, this recording can serve as a valuable source of forensic data, independent of the drone itself.
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 check connected devices for cached or recorded live-stream data and analyse this as a supplementary source of forensic evidence alongside the actual drone footage.
Typical areas of application
How a livestream analysis works
Once the receiver has been secured, a check is carried out to determine whether the live broadcast was temporarily stored and, if so, in what format. Any existing recordings are extracted and their timing is cross-referenced with other data sources, such as GPS telemetry.
Why is livestream analysis relevant in a forensic context?
A recorded live feed may still be available even if the drone itself can no longer be located or its memory is damaged, thus providing an important alternative source of data.
Particularly in cases involving allegations of surveillance or espionage, evidence of what was actually transmitted and viewed in real time can be of particular forensic significance.
