Join David Spreadborough from Amped Software at the Fourth National Digital Media Investigator’s Online Conference on Wednesday, November 18, from 12:40 pm – 1:10 pm (GMT) in our presentation entitled Understanding Video Evidence to learn why dealing with video in investigations is littered with challenges, many of which are hidden due to the evidence often being considered as, “just a video”. Providing an overview of the challenges investigators face when dealing with video and the knowledge they should have to make better early decisions with video evidence, David will discuss imagery evidence, the importance of correct recovery, playback, interpretation, and presentation.
This year’s online conference follows the success of the previous three DMI conferences and aims to promote the status of the DMI role, featuring best practice presentations from experts from law enforcement, academia and industry around the digital strategy. It will also provide DMIs with the opportunity to network and debate key issues online in dedicated discussion sessions.

Get me the CCTV! Show me the suspect! Enhance that blurry face!

Video evidence is becoming a crucial component of cases and official investigations, and two things have become ever apparent. First, it is crucial that agencies review these videos accurately to make sure they get the best evidence. Second, agencies need a fast and easy way to get relevant information out to the public or other agencies.
We are excited to be able to share with the attendees at IACP 2020 the tools we have, which are helping agencies worldwide, to convert and play video accurately from any source without the need for other applications, and to generate actionable images and videos with annotations and redactions.
Come and see more at the Amped Software “booth” in the virtual expo hall. Remember that the hall will be open a full day before programming so you have lots of time to come see us! Schedule meetings or “drop a business card” to interact with us once the platform is available.
While you can explore the expo hall anytime, company representatives will be available from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 20 – Thursday, October 22.

In this webinar, we’ll show you the power of Amped Authenticate to investigate an image’s provenance and authenticity, and how to reveal the presence of manipulated/concealed areas. We’ll also see how Amped FIVE can enhance images and videos to make even more information accessible to investigators.

Amped FIVE already plays and converts video from nearly any source: from bodyworn cameras to proprietary CCTV. FIVE has also become a standard tool for getting the best evidence from all your video sources: from analysis to enhancement. But once you have the video or image, and it is time to send it out of your office, what can you do to make sure personal information isn’t accidentally released as well?
In this webinar, we will discuss how Amped FIVE can be used for everything: converting proprietary videos, enhancing a license plate or face, and also audio and video redaction.
Join Blake Sawyer from Amped Software and learn why one tool is really all you need when it comes to video and image forensics.
