The Analysis of Video Forensics As Evidence

The evolution of technology supports multiple spheres of evolution, including crime. Many
crime footages are recorded every day through body cameras, surveillance cameras, and phone
cameras. More than the eyes present around the crime scene, hidden cameras record important
evidence today. The current crime departments across the globe depend on video forensics
analysis for evidence and clarity on the intention of crime.

Job roles in the video forensics sector

Multiple roles in the forensic department deal with crucial video evidence and its analysis. These
professionals use certain practices and forensic tools to filter out incriminating evidence from
video footage. Here are a few job roles in the video forensics analysis sector.

Analytical technician

The technician role is a minor but completely necessary job profile in a video analysis lab. The
analytical technician is the first point of contact for any analytical project. He takes in all the raw
footage from the client and stores it until the analysis process is over. The technician is trained in
basic Video forensic techniques and is responsible for preliminary assessments and enhancement
of the video footage before other professionals collaborate over it.

Analyst

The analyst has complete technical knowledge of video forensic analysis and carries on a
comparative study of the video footage with skills in image comparison, color correction, reverse
projection, etc. The analyst performs the initial authentication on images and videos.

Expert witness

The expert witness is a highly professional and expert analyst who is a hybrid of the technician
and the analyst. He is the contact point on the legal front and presents the summarized report on
the video evidence as the footage goes through his checks in the final round.
