Formats → Conversion engine
For systems integrators, evidence-platform vendors and primes: when a contract puts proprietary CCTV in scope, you need to convert and play any DVR export — without building the decoders yourself. That is what Veriframe is.
Public bodies — forces, transport authorities, courts, local government — hold footage in formats only the manufacturer's own software will open. A response that cannot open, play and hand on that footage does not clear the evaluation, and reverse-engineering a dozen proprietary containers is not something you want on the critical path of a tender. It is common for several bidders to reach the same conclusion and all look for the same conversion capability behind their submissions.
Engagement is as light or close as the work needs: send exports and receive the deliverables, or talk to us about a tighter arrangement for a specific programme. See every format and what each conversion includes →
.xba, .hvv, .dav, .synav, .pdt / .idt, .XI1, .hbox, .sec, .avi, .SYN, .cve — plus standard containers passed through. Each was reverse-engineered from real exports and tested against real jobs; nobody else publishes this range. Full list →
Bidding something with proprietary CCTV in scope? Tell us the recorders involved and the timetable. We will tell you what converts, provide a capability statement for your response, and look at a real sample at no charge.
Yes — that is a large part of why it exists. When a contract puts proprietary CCTV in scope, the integrator bidding it needs a way to convert and play those formats without building the decoders. We provide that capability: send us the exports and receive standard MP4, a browser player and a verifiable certificate; or we discuss a closer arrangement. You do not have to reverse-engineer a single container.
The recorders and containers on our formats page — .xba, .hvv, .dav, .synav, .pdt / .idt, .XI1, .hbox, .sec, .avi, .SYN, .cve, and standard containers passed through — each worked out from real exports and tested against real jobs. If your bid names a recorder we do not yet list, send a sample: new formats are usually a matter of days, which is often faster than a tender timetable.
As a named technology capability behind your response. We can provide a capability statement covering the formats handled, the evidential certificate and its published verification method, and the security posture procurement will ask about — UK processing, ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centres, a published DPA, 24-hour deletion and no backups. We are glad to complete a security questionnaire.
Every conversion carries a certificate that fixes the original file and the delivered video by their SHA-256 fingerprints, and — where the recording is standard video — shows it was copied rather than re-encoded. The verification method is published, so the other side can repeat it without our involvement. We do conversion and recovery only: no speed estimation, image comparison, enhancement or forensic interpretation. That boundary is deliberate and stated up front.
