User Groups & Pro-Tips

The Photo & Video Investigation Kit was originally designed for Special Victims units and Child Exploitation officers, the system is used to duplicate content off a hard drive or cell phone operating system for evidentiary purposes.

Photo & Video Investigations are conducted by many types of user groups for a variety of reasons, below is a brief of how the PVIK is used by some industries below:

• Investigation Agencies – The Investigation Industry benefits most from the PBN-PVIK due to be continued unlimited use and free updates for life provided with all tools inside the kit.

The ability to take a case into a digital sphere and uncover new lines of inquiry is an option no PI Agency can overlook, Cell Phones and Digital devices contain more pedigree information and user behaviour data inside them, than a person’s home.

Image and video content is often the first place an Investigator can look when conducting a digital investigation, the automatic collation ensures this once time intensive task, can be completed automatically very quickly, collated files can also then be taken away for review.

The whole process used ensures no trace is left of the duplication on the target device.

• Corporations & Organizations – Workplace Investigations and staff conduct auditing are common reasons why the PVIK has become so widely within organizations, image and video content is regularly shared between employees for personal and professional reasons, in some cases shared content between employees can reveal internal issues between a work force, workplace bullying and unethical use of company systems being some of the more common reasons why an organization uses the PVIK.

• Process Any Digital Device using the Photo & Video Investigation Kit

PVIK is a universal system which can automatically duplicate content from virtually any Digital device, if the target device can connect to a Windows or Mac Computer, the PVIK can gain access to the device and copy its whole operating system for images and videos.

PVIK performs extremely well on Cell Phones due to the way data is saved on a cell phone compared to a computer.

A cell phone operating system has its own image directories but also inside a cell phone are many other image directories inside the Apps that are installed on the cell phone.

In addition, other areas where images may reside include, cache file directories and cloud-based image directories such as iCloud on an iPhone.

PVIK has the ability to scan and duplicate any image and video directories it finds on a cell phone, this saves an investigator countless man hours as it is automatically locating where the images and videos are and duplicating their content.

• Illicit Image Cross referencing tool – Porn Detection Scanner – Windows OS Only

Once users have acquired data onto the 1TB drive in the PVIK, users have the option of scanning the contents with the included illicit image software, this 2 step process is recommended and widely used by Investigators as the PVIK Software is multi compatible, once it captures data from a digital device such as a Mac, the data is then stored onto a multi compatible 1TB drive, this then allows an Investigator to use the illicit image tool with the content duplicated from the Mac, overcoming all compatibility issues.

The illicit image scanning tool has been wiely used by Law Enforcement for many years, the software searches using SPR – Skin Pigment recognition and records all images which are potentially illicit.

The illicit image scanning tool has a blur feature on top of the discovered images, users can hover over the image to reveal its full visual.
