OVERVIEW

Videos can suffer from a range of issues which can reduce both the visibility of events and the overall quality of the content. Forensic video enhancement can improve the quality to ensure the potential of the video is realised.

Enhancement of video recordings by forensic video experts can improve video quality, remove blur, sharpen, and provide clarity to faces, events and other elements present within a video recording. As CCTV cameras have come to dominate our streets and mobile phones have become ubiquitous worldwide, so too has the number of video recordings. All too often these recordings are less than optimal quality and require enhancement to bring out the best of the evidence.
