What is Omnivore?

Omnivore is a portable digital video capture solution developed by Ocean Systems, designed to extract video from proprietary DVR systems when standard export options are unavailable or unreliable. It allows investigators to capture exactly what appears on the screen — including crucial playback metadata — with forensic precision.

Unlike conventional screen recording tools, Omnivore uses specialised USB hardware and software to ensure accurate, court-admissible video captures. It supports real-time DVR playback recording, media processing, and lossless export, making it an essential tool for anyone tasked with recovering video evidence in the field or lab.

Who Uses Omnivore?

Omnivore is trusted by professionals in digital forensics, law enforcement, and private investigation where traditional video export methods fall short.

  • Police forces and digital forensic units capturing footage from legacy or locked DVR systems.
  • Expert witnesses and legal professionals documenting playback for evidential use in court.
  • Private investigators and security analysts working on-site with unfamiliar or proprietary CCTV setups.
  • Technical video examiners verifying playback integrity and extracting footage for further analysis.

Its portability and ease of use make it especially valuable for field investigations and time-critical evidence recovery.

Why Use Omnivore?

Many DVR systems use outdated, proprietary formats that make exporting footage difficult or unreliable. In some cases, critical evidence may only be viewable via on-device playback — with no ability to export the original file. Omnivore solves this by enabling screen-capture-style video extraction that retains all necessary evidential context, including timecodes and playback details.

Its plug-and-play design, coupled with advanced forensic features, ensures that footage can be captured on location without compromising legal integrity. Whether you're working in the lab or the field, Omnivore gives you a dependable method to secure valuable video evidence fast.

How Omnivore Helps

Omnivore helps investigators overcome the limitations of non-standardised video systems by providing a reliable method of capturing and preserving what they see — when they see it. It reduces delays caused by vendor lock-ins, broken export tools, or unfamiliar interfaces, while offering full confidence in the quality of the capture.

By combining software and hardware in a single, field-deployable unit, Omnivore transforms difficult recoveries into streamlined processes, ensuring that no footage is lost and every frame counts
