From emails and other electronic documents, to social media interactions and multimedia files, the amount of digital information created on a daily basis presents a unique set of challenges for investigators. That’s why having a proper set of digital forensics protocols is key.
Handling digital evidence requires meticulous care throughout the entire investigative process. Even the slightest error can lead to evidence being corrupted, which makes the chain of custody all the more important. Fortunately, the iRecord suite of solutions can make the job easier. With automatic security features and interdepartmental security that comes standard, we can help make your digital evidence management process truly streamlined!
Effective Digital Evidence Management
The field of digital forensics involves discovering, protecting, and presenting computer evidence for legal purposes. Typically, the focus is on digital media, such as networks, servers, phones, and computers. But there are various types of digital forensics, and multimedia forensics is used for analyzing information with image files, and audio video files for evidence.
There might be digitalized sources of evidence found at a crime scene, as with CCTV footage, or audio tapes. Then again, there might also be audio video evidence created during the investigation itself. Interrogations and victim and witness testimonies can serve as critical pieces of evidence for any case. Recording those conversations in full can provide the court with useful information that might otherwise be missed with just an interview transcript. Every detail counts.
Agencies can prioritize their interview process by having a formal onsite interrogation room with high-definition cameras and omnidirectional microphones installed in the space and ready to go at a moment’s notice. However, collecting multimedia evidence is only part of the equation. Proper storage, secure sharing, and comprehensive documentation are essential for maintaining the integrity of all types of digital evidence.
For audio and video interview evidence, iRecord not only streamlines the capture and storage of multimedia evidence but also provides advanced features for cataloging and organizing such data.
