Chain of Evidence Compliance
Unchallengeable storage guarantees the integrity of digital evidence, audit records, investigation records, case management files, and other critical data, thereby ensuring that it cannot be altered, modified, sabotaged, manipulated or deleted. Placing IP camera video recordings onto immutable storage assures that the video has not been tampered with, and proves the authenticity and admissibility of the evidence in the courtroom.
HDWrite1X write-protected storage can be used with any video recording system. It complies with the CJIS requirements. This is an important addition to your IP camera surveillance system, especially if you are interested in preserving your video for law enforcement.

Providing immutable video evidence is essential in the criminal justice system. Video recording systems must safeguard the chain of evidence so that it can be accepted by the criminal justice system. There must be assurance that the recorded video has not been changed or deleted. The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy defines how this should be done.
How to Protect the Video Evidence
HDWrite1X write-protected storage can be used with any video recording system. Instead of using standard storage systems, we use modified storage that includes the HDWrite1X-HD solution. The HDWrite1X drives can be locked against any modification or deletion. The operating system can also be protected using HDWrite1X-OS. The system is now totally protected from intentional data changes as well as malware.
Your video recording system continuously records the video from all your cameras. Once an incident occurs, the video disk can be locked. The video segment can be transferred to a removable Write-once HDD disk. The video plus the video management software can be provided to law enforcement for forensic review and criminal prosecution. Removable storage is also protected when you use an HDWrite1X protected removable drive.
The HDWrite1X storage system can also protect Audit Information. The system prevents modifications to the audit information and tools, applications, and executables from modification, or deletion.
Protecting Your Computer System
Your total computer system can be protected not only for criminal evidence but also from malware attacks that could damage your computer’s hard drive. HDWrite1X is a complete malware protection system. It protects your data storage and operating system.
