Magnet WITNESS is a digital video forensics solution that captures and analyses recorded video (now supports audio too) from a wide range of sources. It allows investigators to ingest, synchronise, and examine surveillance footage efficiently, supporting complex investigations with speed and clarity.
Magnet WITNESS is a digital video evidence capture tool designed specifically for forensic investigators, analysts, and legal professionals who need to preserve video from sources where direct export isn’t possible or desirable due to time constraints.
Instead of relying on third-party vendors or clunky export processes that often compromise quality or access, WITNESS offers a reliable, court-admissible method for securing evidence from even the most challenging systems. With a strong focus on forensic integrity, it ensures that what you capture can be confidently used in legal and investigative contexts.
Magnet WITNESS is relied on by professionals in fields where secure, verifiable video evidence is critical — particularly when dealing with restricted systems or on-site playback tools.
It’s especially valuable in time-sensitive scenarios where waiting for IT or vendor support could risk the loss of critical evidence.
Not all CCTV recording systems are built with export or investigation in mind. Many legacy CCTV systems, cloud-based surveillance platforms, and proprietary DVRs limit how, or if, footage can be extracted in a usable format for forensic analysis. The DVRs are often password-protected, and the GUI is different from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model, resulting in significant time being wasted tracking down the password or user manuals. Using WITNESS will get you to the review stage much faster, helping to find those crucial case-cracking images.
Magnet WITNESS helps bridge the gap between inaccessible systems and the need for reliable, presentable video evidence. Instead of facing delays or data loss due to export restrictions, WITNESS provides an investigator-controlled solution that works in real time.

Q: What sources of video can Magnet WITNESS acquire from?
A: Magnet WITNESS can access recordings direct from the hard drive of a CCTV DVR and access critical evidence from body cams, mobile devices, drones, dash cams, and cloud-based surveillance systems, among other sources.
Q: Can Magnet WITNESS work with proprietary video file formats?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS quickly accesses video data in both native and proprietary file formats, accelerating media investigations that would otherwise require separate playback software for each format.
Q: Can Magnet WITNESS recover deleted footage from a DVR hard drive?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS can directly acquire data from surveillance and CCTV DVR hard drives, including footage that has been deleted or partially overwritten.
Q: How does Magnet WITNESS simplify reviewing footage from unfamiliar DVR systems?
A: Magnet WITNESS reduces the complexity of evidence review by letting investigators navigate unfamiliar third-party DVR menus through a single centralised tool, rather than learning each manufacturer's proprietary software.
Q: Can I track review progress across a large volume of video evidence in Magnet WITNESS?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS lets you track progress and identify evidence that is still under review with an easy-to-use, feature-rich interface.
Q: Can Magnet WITNESS show footage from multiple cameras together?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS lets investigators quickly see the complete picture across multiple video sources, providing better understanding and context for an incident.
Q: Can Magnet WITNESS produce a report suitable for court?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS turns complex evidence into a court-ready report and concatenated video that tells the complete story of an investigation.
Q: Does Magnet WITNESS keep an audit trail for legal defensibility?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS automatically generates auditable reports for every video input and output, ensuring full transparency and legal defensibility.
Q: Will video exported from Magnet WITNESS play on any computer?
A: Yes. Magnet WITNESS removes technical playback barriers by delivering video evidence in formats that play on any computer, improving case collaboration with colleagues and legal teams.
