DV200 Digital Video investigations with Magnet Witness
DV200 Digital Video Investigations with DVR Examiner
Digital Video Investigations with DVR Examiner is a beginner-level course, designed for participants who are not yet familiar with the concepts of the recovery and analysis of digital video files from commercially available digital video recorders. This course is offered as an in-person course.
Description
After completing the three-day course, participants will have the knowledge and skills to acquire data from digital video recorders (DVRs) in a safe and forensic manner. Students will learn how to identify and extract hard drives from these devices and acquire forensic images of the data using write-blocking protection. Participants will also learn how to extract the data from these images using DVR Examiner and present it to others for case work.
