Cases with little or no meaningful video evidence
Magnet Witness is a video forensics solution designed to help investigators acquire, review, and analyze video evidence in one workflow. It is built for cases involving DVR footage, surveillance systems, dash cams, body cams, and cloud-connected camera platforms.
Magnet says Witness is built on the foundation of DVR Examiner and expands beyond acquisition by adding stronger review and analysis capabilities. The product supports native and proprietary video formats, cloud sources such as Ring and Arlo, synchronized review, sub-clipping, concatenation, and recovery of deleted or overwritten video and metadata.
Witness is strongest when the main problem is recovering and making sense of video evidence across one or many sources. It is not the right listing for broad endpoint forensics, phone extraction, or non-video-centric DFIR work.
