Trust the CCTV DVR recovery experts.

Ontrack is the world's leading data recovery company. Our team of R&D specialists has the knowledge and expertise to assist with any CCTV DVR data loss situation.

We can help you get your data back

Ontrack’s CCTV Digital Video Recorder (DVR) recovery service recovers video recordings from physically damaged hardware and in any situation where recorded video is inaccessible or cannot be exported from the DVR.

We can help you recover data from common problems such as accidental deletion or formatted HDDs, plus more severe issues such as fire or flood damage. All CCTV DVR recovery (and forensic analysis, where required) is performed by security cleared Ontrack data recovery engineers.

We can recover data from any situation

Ontrack recovers inaccessible video from CCTV DVRs of many different manufacturers and a wide range of failures.

In one such case, Ontrack was engaged to recover video footage from a CCTV DVR that had been severely damaged in a fire on a garage forecourt. The hope was that this footage would contain vital information about the fire, including where and how it started and at what time, allowing for a further legal investigation to be carried out.

Ontrack engineers were able to bypass the physical damage to the drives in the DVR system and restore the logical structures to recover the necessary data for the client.
