What is DVR Examiner?

DVR Examiner is a forensic video recovery tool that allows investigators to extract video footage directly from DVR hard drives — even if the system is damaged, password-protected, or non-functional. Developed by Magnet Forensics, it bypasses traditional DVR interfaces to access and recover video files, including deleted clips, while maintaining evidential integrity. It’s an essential solution for cases where standard DVR access is impossible or unreliable.

Who Uses DVR Examiner?

DVR Examiner is trusted by digital forensic professionals, law enforcement agencies, and private investigators who need to recover video evidence from CCTV systems. Typical users include:

  • Police and forensic units retrieving footage from damaged or inaccessible DVRs during criminal investigations.
  • Digital evidence examiners analysing hard drives from legacy or proprietary surveillance systems.
  • Private security consultants working on insurance claims, civil disputes, or internal investigations.
  • Government agencies requiring reliable video extraction for compliance, oversight, or legal review.

It’s the go-to solution when traditional DVR access fails — ensuring no critical footage is left behind.
