Closed-circuit television (CCTV) evidence is one of the most commonly relied upon forms of visual evidence in UK courts. With an estimated 5.2 million cameras across the country. One in every 13 people, chances are high that a crime, an individual, or an event has been captured on video. But raw footage alone is rarely enough to provide clarity. To stand up in court, one needs expert analysis, interpretation, and presentation.

That’s where Foresight’s CCTV Analysis Expert Witnesses play a crucial role.

What Does a CCTV Analysis Expert Witness Do?

CCTV analysts go beyond simply watching video. They apply forensic techniques and specialist knowledge to extract critical insights that can determine the outcome of a case. Their work focuses on four main areas:

Image improvement: Enhancing footage to reveal details that may otherwise be unclear or obscured.

Identification of people and objects: Using facial mapping and recognition techniques to assess whether an individual is present in the footage, or to clarify disputed objects and movements.

Analysis of events: Establishing timelines, verifying movements, and tracking individuals across multiple cameras or locations.

Image presentation: Formatting and preparing footage so that it is suitable, admissible, and clear for use in court.

This analysis can prove or disprove an individual’s whereabouts, highlight key sequences of events, and support or challenge witness testimony. In many cases, it becomes pivotal evidence in securing a prosecution or in establishing a robust defence.
