Vehicle and site DVRs write formats nothing else will play. We convert them to standard MP4 with a browser-based player — nothing for the recipient to install. Standard video is copied, never re-encoded; a proprietary codec is decoded and certified — and either way a certificate lets anyone verify the conversion for themselves.

Each one reverse-engineered from real exports and tested against real jobs. If your recorder isn't listed, send us a sample — new formats are usually a matter of days.

The whole folder, zip or disc image, exactly as the DVR wrote it. Upload it, or paste a link to it in Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or SharePoint. Nothing needs unpicking first — and if it turns out not to play, we will ask for the player it shipped with so we can make it work.
Every camera becomes a standard MP4. The picture is copied, not re-encoded, so what you receive is the recorded image — not a compressed copy of it.
MP4s plus a player that opens in any browser. Email it, share it from cloud storage, put it on a disc or a stick, or hand it to a court — it works without installing anything.
The problem looks different depending on which end of it you are. These set out what the service does in the terms of each.
Disclosure that opens without the manufacturer's software, and a certificate the other side can verify without our help.
Fleet and site footage on one timeline, with the GPS track and vehicle inputs beside the picture.
An audit trail by default, the recorder's timing preserved, and a clear line on what we do and do not do under the FSR Code.
Every camera on the vehicle, plus GPS, speed, braking and indicators — in one deliverable you can send to everyone who asks.
No account. No CCTV software. No codec pack. No proprietary player. They open the link, and it plays.
This is usually the whole problem. Footage arrives with the manufacturer's own viewer attached, and the person who has to watch it — a partner, a claims handler, opposing counsel, a judge — sits behind a locked-down PC that will not install it. The evidence exists and nobody can see it.
A converted job is standard MP4 files and one web page. It works on a machine where nothing can be installed, from a shared folder, on a disc handed across a courtroom, and on the other side's laptop without them ever contacting us.
It works for people who are not your customer. You do not need to buy them anything, get them an account, or ask their IT department for permission. That is deliberate: footage that only your supplier's customers can open is not much use as disclosure.
Every camera the recorder wrote, on one timeline, synchronised — four or seventeen, it is the same page — with the recorder's clock, its GPS track and its vehicle inputs alongside. This is the whole deliverable, not a screenshot of an application you would have to install.
This is what the person receiving your CCTV sees. No account. No CCTV software. No installation — it opens in the browser they already have.
Why it matters. Locked-down PCs in forces, chambers and insurers routinely block unfamiliar software. A page that opens in the browser already installed sidesteps that entirely — and the timestamp stays a live overlay, so the underlying image is never altered.
Converted footage is only useful if someone will accept it. Each job produces a signed-off PDF stating what was received, what was produced, and evidence that the pictures were not altered on the way through. If you are disclosing footage, or expect it to be challenged, that is the part that matters: the check is published, so the other side can repeat it.
We do not re-encode. The recorded H.264 is lifted out of the recorder's container and written into MP4 untouched — so the pictures you receive are the pictures the camera recorded.
The certificate demonstrates that rather than claiming it. The coded video is digested either side of the conversion and both values are printed, so a reader can compare them without taking our word for anything.
Independently reproducible: the digests can be recomputed from the delivered file with ffmpeg and a short script. How to check a Veriframe certificate.
We are not a storage service. Your footage is held only for as long as it takes to convert and deliver it, then deleted to a documented schedule — not kept "in case", not used to train anything, not retained for our own purposes.
Originals are returned or destroyed on your instruction, and the job log records when each deletion happened.
Conversion runs in the United Kingdom, in ISO/IEC 27001 certified data centres, with no network access of its own, and your footage is never used for any purpose other than converting it for you.

Email us about an export that has given you trouble and we will tell you whether it converts — usually the same day. If it does, the first conversion is free. If it does not, we will say so plainly, and there is no charge for finding out.

Tell us the recorder or format if you know it, and roughly how much footage there is. You do not need to send the footage to ask — and if the format is one we have not met before, we will ask for a sample and look at it properly rather than guess.
