Hi Alan

Basically we view footage when an incident occurs in an attempt to identify an offender. Sould the offender be identified then we intend to identify the suspect and show him/her the footage. Really simple (if we have the software to view the initial footage.)

any 1/2 decent dvr puts its own player software on in its back-up media?

might be a strange statement but if your working for a firm in this field, surely they would have the common sense to request the detials of the recording equipment to be provided with the evidence? or be able to determine by the file extension?

or have the inhouse expertise to develop your own anyformat player?

I'am 2nd guessing you work in loss dept? a policy of using one manufactures kit might be prudent?
