Document the system

Record the system type, manufacturer, model, camera count, retention period, and other relevant details.

Capture documentation photos

Photograph the camera overview, system interfaces, cabling, and relevant menus.

Verify the system time

Use on-device OCR as a starting point, review the result, and document the calculated time offset.

Complete the quality check

Follow the checklist and record any discrepancies while you are still at the system.

Create the PDF report

Compile case data, system details, photos, time verification, and the checklist into one report.

NTP-synchronized reference time

Calculate the CCTV system’s time offset against a calibrated reference.

Actual time is synchronized with an internet time server using NTP. CCTV Collector uses that calibrated reference to compare the time shown by the CCTV system and calculate the offset.

  • Actual time is obtained from an internet time server.
  • Capture the CCTV system clock and review the OCR suggestion before calculating the offset.
  • Keep the verified offset with the case and include it in the final PDF report.

When the fieldwork is complete, CCTV Collector compiles the recorded information into a clear PDF, ready for review and sharing.

  • Case and system details in one place.
  • Photos, time verification, and quality checks included.
  • Preview, save, share, or send via iOS.
