WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT RECOVER FROM

Can You Retrieve Overwritten CCTV Footage?

Yes, it’s possible to recover overwritten CCTV footage footage, yet it's imperative to move swiftly to enhance the likelihood of a successful recovery. Utilizing a reliable data recovery service such as WILDFIRE DATA RECOVERY to perform a scan on the storage device that previously housed your surveillance recordings is the most effective approach to recovering such footage.

What are the 2 major data recovery categories:

1. 🔨 Physical Data Loss: At Wildfire Data Recovery Brisbane, we define physical data loss, as something that occurs when there is a mechanical breakdown within the hard drive of your laptop. This susceptibility primarily affects mechanical hard drives due to their multitude of moving components, each with minimal tolerance for physical mishaps. Various factors can contribute to mechanical hard drive failures, such as water damage, electrical impairment, or the impact of physical shock, such as accidentally dropping your laptop. 

2. 💿 Logical Data Loss: In straightforward terms, logical data loss arises when your storage device remains physically intact and functions properly, yet you encounter difficulties accessing certain files. Logical data loss stems from a multitude of factors, with several prevailing causes being distinct from one another. Among the most frequently encountered triggers are compromised file systems, unexpected power surges or outages, and human errors like unintentional data deletion or formatting. 

An illustration with a large white exclemation point and the word, important written in white underneath it, on a red background.

Data loss can stem from a multitude of reasons, including logical corruption of the drive, failure of the storage device, malware attacks, and unintended deletions. The majority of CCTV camera setups rely on a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to capture and store footage from the cameras. These DVR systems are designed to automatically purge older videos after a specific period (based on the system's settings) to optimize storage capacity efficiently. Given the operational characteristics of DVRs, the likelihood of successful data recovery hinges on the promptness with which the recovery effort is initiated. Furthermore, it is advisable to consistently archive older videos to an alternate storage medium or cloud service, facilitating smoother retrieval when needed.

Why have I lost the data from my CCTV device in the first place? 

What filesystems are used for CCTV/DVR data storage?

CCTV/DVR systems use specific file systems optimized for the continuous writing and overwriting of video data. These file systems are designed to handle large volumes of data efficiently, reduce fragmentation, and ensure data integrity even in the event of power loss or system failure. Here are some of the common file systems used in CCTV/DVR systems:

Why Choose WILDFIRE DATA RECOVERY for CCTV/DVR/NVR Data Recovery

THE WILDFIRE CCTV/DVR DATA RECOVERY PROCESS

"It is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Our hard drive data recovery process is customised for every client."

1.

COMPREHENSIVE RECOVERY REPORT

Once we process and diagnose our client's device(s) we complete a comprehensive diagnostic report. It marks on the total costs (inc. projected costs) of the recovery, the chance of success, the issue with the hard drive and why it requires data recovery services and finally the expected date of completion. We offer our customers a comprehensive diagnostic report free of charge with our standard service, to find the root of the failure and allow our engineers to find the right path to recovery.

2.

ONCE DIAGNOSIS IS OVER...

Following the completion of our comprehensive recovery report, we complete our diagnostic and consultation services with our clients and provide a projected success rate for their particular device and failure (these success rates are based on thousands of recoveries). Once the diagnostics are completed buy our experienced data recovery engineers, and the data recovery options are clear, we provide a firm no-obligation price quote. This quote can always be rejected by our clients and they can take their device and shop around.

3.

ONCE THE JOB IS APPROVED...

Once our clients provide us with the green light and approve the quote and the comprehensive report, our engineers conduct the invasive hard drive repairs and if necessary, use custom-designed, in-house, tools to recreate file systems and partition table information our clients need to progress to the next level of hard drive data recovery. This step can take a number of days, to a number of weeks depending on the complexiety of the hard drive failure. For example, a LEVEL 1 Logic Hard Drive Data Recovery may take 2-5 days, while a LEVEL 4 Complex Mechanical Hard Drive Failure can take up to 4 weeks or longer.

  • What is data recovery and how much does it cost?
    Data recovery is a complex and at times, very time consuming process. It is a combination of many fields from computer science and engineering, IT to electronics, to software engineering, coding, electrical engineering and much much more. Due to this extremely specialized and difficult process, a data recovery engineer is a self taught professional that has a passion for all of the aforementioned fields and it is this passion that leads to their ability to sometimes do what is considered "impossible". Furthermore, the software, hardware and the many tools that go into data recovery are extremely specialized and very costly. Every electronic device and digital storage media contains information, and that information can be made inaccessible due to mechanical or logical failure. The process of accessing, retrieving and restoring that inaccessible data is called data recovery. The data recovery process varies based on the type of media. If the failure is logical (deletion, operating system failure, etc) then specialized software is used to recover the data. If a mechanical failure occurs such as physical damage, water or fire damage, recovery requires a professional staff and certified Cleanroom facilities.
  • How long does it take to get my data back?
    Unfortunately there is no easy answer here. Most of the recoveries we perform are completed within 48 hours. However, sometimes jobs can last 2-4 weeks (especially with servers and large RAID combinations). Your engineer will inform you thoroughly of your wait time.
  • What data recovery packages do you offer?
    Our data recovery plans start from Level 1 (Basic Software Recovery) to Level 5 (Complex Malware, Ransomware, Hardware plus other damage). Complexity dictates which category (or level) your device will be placed in and the final cost that you will incur based on the successful return of your lost data. Different devices also incur different costs. For example, a RAID system (which can contain anywhere from 2-30 hard drives or more) will have a higher data recovery success fee then an individual hard drive at the same complexity level. Our basic data recovery packages are: 1. LEVEL 1 – SIMPLE LOGICAL DATA RECOVERY SERVICES: $299+GST. This level includes all devices with basic logical issues such as deleted data, formatting, accidental deletion due to human error, operating system malfunctions (this includes software glitches or bad updates that affect the function of your operating system), virus and malware issues, file system errors, overwriting of data plus much more. 2. LEVEL 2 – COMPLEX LOGICAL DATA RECOVERY SERVICES: $520+GST. The complexity of data loss can increase based on various factors that go beyond simple logical data loss scenarios. Some of the factors that can contribute to increased complexity in data loss situations include RAID configurations (data loss can become more complex due to the interdependence of multiple drives and potential issues with RAID controllers), file system damage, disk or hardware issues from logical problems (damages sectors, corrupted data which prevents the drive from being read), encrypted data, legal or compliance implications (in certain cases, data loss may involve legal or compliance issues, adding complexity to the recovery process).
  • How does the data recovery process work?
    Wildfire Data Recovery begins each case with a risk-free media evaluation. Our certified and trained Engineers test to see if your device has recoverable data, after which we provide a price quote and estimated turnaround time for the recovery. Based on how complex this recovery is and the level of damage, the time can range from a few days to several weeks. The evaluation we provide here at WDR is no-obligation and we will return your media to you if you decide not to use our services, FREE of charge. We provide free diagnostics with our standard service and stand by our “No data, No recovery fee” guarantee. If you accept the quote, we treat physical media issues with tested and safe technology and utilize a Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom. Engineers will make a copy of your drive and treat logical issues to restore files to a working condition. After the recovery is complete, we will send a list of recovered files and will send your data back on FIPS validated portable storage or on transfer media you provide.
  • When can data recovery be performed and what are some examples of the different forms of data recovery?
    Data recovery is possible on almost any device that can hold data. Data recovery is even possible on cloud based operating systems, servers, locked-out iPhones, and Samsung mobile phones plus much more. All data recovery problems can be placed into one of three categories, logical damage, physical damage, or a combination of the two. Devices with logical problems can be restored using software only or logical solutions. Recovery is also possible for a device that has sustained physical damage (such as dropping a mechanical hard drive from a height). In this case, engineers would use our class 10 ISO 4 clean room to replace the faulty parts and recover your data. Wildfire Data Recovery has successfully recovered data from media that has been burned, submerged in water, and physically damaged. Our forensic toolkit and expertise gives us the edge over other data recovery companies and we can perform data rescues determined to be impossible by others.
