Summary:
Per Electronic Communication (EC) dated 8/26/2019, Special Agent (SA) a
transferred the submitted specimens from the New York field office to the Operational
Technology Division/Digital Forensics Analysis Unit (OTD/DFAU) in Quantico for examination. The
specimens were received by the Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) for analysis.
Per discussion with CART Laboratory Supervisor MM
on 8/19/2019, the Digital Video
Recorder (DVR) system is to be assembled to allow export of videos contained on the system.
The DVR system consisted of a main controller and 2 disk arrays, labeled as DVR 1 and DVR 2.
DVR 1 was assembled successfully and made available for export of videos. Video Specialist
performed exports based on requests made by the NY investigative team. On 12/19/2019,
DVR 1 failed due to hardware issues. Contact with the vendor and attempts to use replacement parts
were unsuccessful in restoring the disk array to a usable state.
DVR 2 contained 3 hard disk drives that were repaired by Advanced Data Recovery Specialist
M
.
However, DVR 2 was never able to be assembled successfully. A review of the logs on the
DVR 2 controller indicated catastrophic disk failures before receipt by the FBI.
A master copy of the images of the hard disk drives contained in the DVR system were placed on to 3
hard drives for storage (labeled as HQQ026637-HQQ026639).
Details of Examination:
The dates of this examination were August 20, 2019 through May 24, 2021.

The hard disk drives contained in the units were write blocked and forensic images created as follows:
Main Controller - Forensic images of the 2 drives were created to a forensically clean network share
in Quantico for archive. Forensic copies of the drives (clones) were also created on additional
physical drives to be used in the unit for assembly. These actions were performed by FE as.
DVR 1 Controller - The top bay drive was repaired by Recovery Specialist a.
Forensic
images of the 2 drives were created to a forensically clean network share in Quantico for archive.
Forensic copies of the drives (clones) were also created on additional physical drives to be used in the
unit for assembly. These actions were performed by FE as.
DVR 1 Disk Array - Forensic images of the 16 drives were created to a forensically clean network
share in Quantico for archive. Forensic copies of the drives (clones) were also created on additional
physical drives to be used in the unit for assembly. These actions were performed by FE a.
DVR 2 Controller - Forensic image of the 1 drive was created to a forensically clean network share in
Quantico for archive. A forensic copy of the drive (clone) was also created on an additional physical
drive to be used in the unit for assembly. These actions were performed by FE
-.
DVR 2 Disk Array - The 16 drives originally contained in the unit were provided to the NY FO.
Forensic images of the 16 drives were created to a forensically clean network share in New York for
archive. Forensic copies of the drives (clones) were also created on additional physical drives to be
used in the unit for assembly. These actions were performed by NY FE's and provided to the CART
team in Quantico.
The DVR system was assembled using the clones and powered on.
The Main Controller started up successfully and was accessed using Administrator password
"!Nicelog" as provided by the vendor. The NICE suite of software, which provides visibility into the

setup and recordings on DVR 1 and DVR 2 was accessed using password "NICE" to gain access to
the administrator functions. A review indicated that roughly half of the camera assignments were
allotted to each DVR.
DVR 1 started up successfully and recordings were available for export through the Main Controller
software interface. DVR 2 did not start successfully.
On 9/18/2019, a meeting was conducted with DVR vendor Technical Support Representative Mk
of SigNet Technologies. Houston provided an overview of the o
tion of the system. A
review of the DVR 2 controller logs by Houston and Senior Advisor
I indicated that
there had been catastrophic disk failures in the array and no recordings would have been available after
7/29/2019. Loveall and Computer Scientist Mike Beaudin were provided access to the beginning
sectors of the 16 drives to see if the structure would indicate clues of a possible rebuild. None were
apparent.
Video Specialist •
was provided access to the DVR software and performed exports of the
available recordings on DVR 1 based on investigative team requests.
On 12/19/2019, Video Specialist
reported beeping from the disk array and inability to use the
software to continue to perform exports. A review of the unit indicated memory errors. Attempts at
reseating memory board and RAM were unsuccessful. The vendor was contacted for replacement
parts, but none were available due to the age of the unit. Lab Supervisor
purchased and
provided exemplar memory board and RAM. Several attempts to restore the unit to working order
with replacement parts were unsuccessful and eventually exhausted.
The DVR system original items and clones were returned to NY FO. Master copies of the Main
Controller, DVR 1 images, DVR 2 repaired drive images, and video exports were placed on to hard
disk drives (HQQ026637-HQQ026639) for storage. NY CART Examiners will perform archive of the
DVR 2 images located on the NY FO network share.
