When Surveillance Camera Recordings Are No Longer Accessible

Losing recorded surveillance footage does not always mean that the information is permanently lost.

Various problems can make recordings stored on a DVR or NVR no longer viewable or retrievable, including:

Accidentally deleted images and recordings
Formatting of the storage system in a DVR or NVR
Storage system failure
The storage system is no longer recognized by the device
Firmware errors or structural problems in the device
Damaged file system
Failure of the DVR or NVR device itself
Physical damage to the storage system
Recorded footage that is no longer accessible
Problems with the proprietary storage structure of surveillance systems

In surveillance systems, video data may be stored using specialized structures and formats. Therefore, simply connecting the storage system to a standard computer does not automatically make the recordings accessible.

If the recordings are important for an incident, theft, dispute, internal investigation, or security matter, you should contact a specialist before taking any action on the device.

Surveillance Camera Data Recovery Services

01

Recovery of Deleted Recordings

If surveillance camera recordings have been accidentally deleted, we first examine the status of the system and how the information was deleted.

The possibility of data recovery depends, among other factors, on the technical condition of the system, the type of DVR/NVR being used, how the information was deleted, and the conditions under which the system has been used.

No data recovery can be guaranteed before a technical examination has been carried out.

Data Recovery from DVR and NVR

A common problem with surveillance systems is that the information on a DVR or NVR becomes corrupted or is no longer accessible.

If:
The DVR device can no longer access the recorded footage
The NVR device displays a storage error
The storage system is not recognized by the device
Recorded footage can no longer be viewed
The device has stopped working, but the information is still important
The device and the stored information can be examined.

Data Recovery from Damaged DVR and NVR Devices

In some cases, the problem is not limited to the stored information; the DVR or NVR device itself may have suffered a failure.

In such situations, a technical examination of the device and storage system can determine whether the information is still accessible.

The goal is to recover the information that remains, not merely to repair the device.

Support for Different DVR and NVR Systems

Our data recovery services can examine different types of surveillance systems and their storage solutions, including:

Hikvision
Dahua
Axis
Bosch
Hanwha / Wisenet
Uniview
Reolink
Milestone
as well as other DVR and NVR systems.
The possibility of data recovery does not depend solely on the device brand. The condition of the system, the data structure, and the type of failure are crucial in determining which technical recovery method can be used.

What Types of Systems Do We Examine?

01

DVR

DVR systems used for recording and storing surveillance camera footage, including devices where:

01 Recorded footage is no longer accessible
02 Recordings have been deleted
03 The device has experienced a failure
04 The storage system is not recognized
05 Recorded files can no longer be viewed
02

NVR

NVR systems can also be examined when problems occur with access to recordings and stored information.

Problems may include:

Deleted recordings
Formatted storage
System failure
Storage failure
Recordings that are no longer accessible
Problems with the data structure
03

Surveillance Systems

If a failure in the surveillance system has made the recorded footage inaccessible, the device and data structure can be examined to determine the best approach for data recovery.

Recovery of Recordings for Investigations and Cases

Surveillance camera recordings can be much more than ordinary video files.

The information may, for example, be related to:

01 Theft
02 Property damage
03 Accidents and incidents
04 Internal corporate investigations
05 Security matters
06 Commercial disputes
07 Investigation of a specific event
08 Documentation required for a case

In such situations, confidentiality and preventing further changes or damage to the information are particularly important.

mService Sweden AB treats received information and storage media as sensitive data and carries out examination and data recovery in a specialized manner.

02 — Initial Assessment

We collect basic information about the system, the DVR/NVR model, how the information was lost, and the current status of the device.

At this stage, we assess whether the device needs to undergo a technical examination.

03 — Submission of the Device or Storage System

The DVR, NVR, or relevant storage system is received for technical examination.

The technical condition of the device and its data structure are then analyzed.

03
04

04 — Assessment of Data Recovery Possibility

Based on the type of failure, the condition of the system, and how the information was lost, we determine whether data recovery is possible and which technical method is appropriate.

The possibility of data recovery cannot be guaranteed before a technical examination has been carried out.

05 — Data Recovery

If data recovery is considered possible, the process is carried out based on the technical conditions of the device and the information.

06

06 — Delivery of Recovered Information

If information can be recovered, the recovered information is delivered to the customer according to the agreed method.

If Important Surveillance Recordings Have Disappeared – Do Not Do This

If the recordings are important, you should contact a data recovery specialist before taking any action on the device.

!
01

Do Not Format the Device

Reformatting the device can make data recovery more complicated.

02

Do Not Write New Data to the Storage System

New information written to the system may affect previously stored data.

03

Do Not Repair the DVR or NVR Without a Technical Assessment

Hardware or software changes without a proper diagnosis can make the situation more complicated.

04

Do Not Use Random Data Recovery Software

DVR and NVR systems may use storage structures that differ from standard computer file systems.

05

Do Not Open the Device

If the system or storage equipment has suffered physical damage, opening it outside a suitable environment may cause further damage.

06

Do Not Replace or Modify the Storage System

If the information is important, you should contact a data recovery specialist before making any changes.

Important to Know About Surveillance Camera Data Recovery

Not all deleted recordings can necessarily be recovered.

The possibility of data recovery depends, among other factors, on:

01 The technical condition of the system
02 The type of failure
03 How the information was lost
04 The storage structure of the DVR/NVR
05 The condition of the remaining information
06 The extent of physical or logical damage

Therefore, we do not make any definitive promises about data recovery before a technical examination has been carried out.

Can Old Recordings That Have Been Overwritten Be Recovered?

If previous data has been completely overwritten (Overwrite) by new information, it is not possible to recover the overwritten information.

If you discover that important recordings have been deleted, you should therefore avoid continuing to use the storage system and contact a data recovery specialist before new information is written to the system.

Are Your Important Surveillance Recordings No Longer Accessible?

If recordings have been deleted, if your DVR or NVR has stopped working, if the storage system is not recognized, or if you can no longer access the recorded files, contact a specialist before taking any action on the device.

The experts at mService Sweden AB first examine the condition of the device and the stored information, and then inform you about the possibility of data recovery and the next steps.
