Once a multiplexed signal has been separated into individual streams, other problems often manifest themselves. At the top of the list are lighting issues that inevitably result when the environment being recorded is simply too light, or dark, or even changing too rapidly, for the camera to process.

Using a variety of sophisticated processes incorporated within our system's "dVeloper" enhancement module, we can literally reveal hidden evidence—often crucial—that could have gone undetected:

 

  

 FACT: Every time a videotape is played, the quality degrades. Many surveillance systems record in poor quality to begin with, and since the recording often takes place on a tape that is used over and over, the problem is compounded.

Pausing and rewinding a certain segment is even more brutal on the tape, and the segment that receives this treatment is virtually always the most important part of the tape from an evidentiary perspective. Bottom line? It's easy for critical video evidence to be rendered unuseable after only a few playings.

SOLUTION: Don't play an evidence videotape for viewing purposes. Its only playing should be the process of digitizing it into a computer for viewing and analysis.

Multiplexing:  The process of simultaneously recording signals from multiple cameras onto a single tape or into a single computer file.

Time-Lapse:  Recording fewer than the standard 30 frames of video per second, in order to conserve space on the media.
