Forensic Artifacts in Network Surveillance Systems

Abstract

The network video surveillance system is the latest trend in surveillance technology and has been rapidly surpassing the older analogue cameras used in most surveillance systems nowadays. The network surveillance system is mostly similar to contemporary computer systems such as personal computer, server system, and embedded system. In means, acquiring or recovering video evidence in network surveillance are quite similar to traditional evidence collection techniques in digital forensics and these operations are needed to be considered proving the integrity of evidence. However, a lack of research on evidential video management in network surveillance system is able to damage reliability and admissibility in a court of law. In this paper, we defines forensic artifacts for performing video evidence retrieval in network surveillance systems. The purpose of this work is to provide reliable video evidence collection from each network surveillance systems with admissibility and integrity of evidence.
