₹100-400 INR / hour

A recent incident means I need to pull critical video from traffic signal CCTV system, yet every attempt to play or export the files ends in errors—the footage appears corrupted. The unit is still intact, the drive has not been reformatted, and no data has been intentionally overwritten, so the raw video streams should still reside on the disk. The task is straightforward: isolate the damaged files, repair or rebuild the containers, and deliver playable video in a common format (MP4 or AVI preferred) along with a brief note on the recovery steps you used. Utilities such as DVR forensic suites, Hex-level editors, FFmpeg, or custom scripts are all acceptable as long as the end result is clean, continuous playback covering the full timestamp range. Because this is a single-location DVR/NVR system (no cloud component), I can provide either: • A direct image of the drive • Remote access to the box over a secure VPN • Or, if required, a shipped copy of the raw disk Please confirm you have prior experience rescuing CCTV files that suffered file corruption at the device level rather than simple deletion, and outline the typical turnaround you can offer.

The issue with your DVR/NVR is device-level CCTV video corruption rather than simple data deletion; therefore, the recovery process requires repairing the data while preserving the raw disk structure and proprietary video containers. I will begin by identifying the damaged files using a forensic-safe image or workflow and analyzing the filesystem/container headers and video indexes. Subsequently, I will reconstruct playable MP4/AVI files using DVR-specific tools, hex-level analysis, FFmpeg, and custom scripts as needed. Approach: I will perform the recovery on a working copy or image without writing any data to the original disk. After validating the timestamp range and stream continuity, I will verify the playback integrity of the recovered footage and provide a concise technical note detailing the recovery steps. 1. What are the make, model, and firmware/version of the DVR/NVR? 2. What is the drive's filesystem and approximate capacity? 3. What is the date/time range of the corrupted footage? 4. Is a direct disk image available, or would it be easier to provide access to the device via VPN?

Hi, I haven't recovered DVR footage at disk level before, so I'd rather be upfront about it. I work with Python and Linux and use ffmpeg daily. Before committing, I'd like to run a short diagnosis (about 3-5 hours) on 1-2 sample files: could you tell me the DVR brand/model and the file extension, and share a couple of the corrupted files? With that I can tell you honestly whether repair is feasible and how long it would take.
