    I am working on some software to make this kind of task easier. Let me know if you would be interested in helping me test my application. Maybe this will come in handy for the future

     

     

    Hi Joe

    The NVR's are recording motion only and are standalones that wouldn't be able to run the software.

    Thanks for the responses guys

     

    @tomcctv - we often help the customer find footage .. it keeps us close to the customer for future jobs and referrals. and it's quicker than retraining them because they forgot how to do it (yes that happens A LOT)... But the question applies for the customer too.

     

    example.

    police want a video .. customers custodian has to drive 30km to a plaza to physically backup to a USB stick .. spends an hour helping cops look at the video and backing up and then drives back 30km. someone is out 2 hours and 60km of gas and (too often) a USB stick they'll never see again.

    Hi All

     

    I cannot find an answer to this one through google searches at all ...

     

    for specifically - peel region, ontario, canada

     

    If the police ask me to find an event .. say between 8pm and 11pm last week and I spend an hour or two searching, finding and downloading. Are they obliged to pay me for my time?

     

    in this case an illegal activity in a plaza we installed cameras at.

    (this one particularly got my goat as they must have known exactly what time it was by the call in .. and it was after 10pm so I wasted time looking through 8-10)

     

    I'm not asking because of one time .. but I have done this numerous times for different locations and they seem to think time is free.
