With technical advancements, there is a rapid growth and improvement in video technology. The result of which is visible around us in our everyday lives. And availability of smart mobile devices and the low cost of surveillance systems speaks for itself. According to Mordor Intelligence, the Indian CCTV market is forecasted (from 2021 – 2026) to register a CAGR of 22.35%. While that of mobile phones, according to Maximize Market Research, is forecasted to grow at a rate of 14 % CAGR from 2021 to 2027. Image and video evidence can be found at more locations and from more diverse sources than ever before. From banks to malls, convenience stores to fast food restaurants, traffic intersections to parks, CCTV systems are almost everywhere. And cell phone cameras extend a watchful eye to nearly every corner of every town. With the increasing number of public and private security cameras, different agencies are increasingly using these records as evidence. As the video represents the factors that take place naturally at that particular moment, site, area, or place. Analysing such a huge number is a challenge in itself. Which not only involves low quality images/videos, but many times authenticity also remains in question. But due to the advancement in technology, images & videos can be distinguished, if they are real or tampered with. Digital videos and images have become a crucial source of evidence in criminal cases. Nowadays, digital video surveillance systems are more detailed and precise than the testimony of an individual. However, if the digital surveillance video is properly verified and authorised then only it can be presented in the hon’ble court.

Amped Authenticate: Images are vital in an investigation, but in the digital age of photography, the ability to alter photos has never been easier. There is a possibility that there is false evidence. Before an image is considered a reliable source of evidence in an investigation, authentication must be performed to reduce the risk of contaminating the case with false information that will derail the investigation, waste time and resources, and potentially convict the innocent and the set culprits for free. Amped Authentication offers a number of different tools for analysing photographic evidence, with the complete image authentication workflow. These include integrity verification, context analysis, camera identification, processing analysis, and tampering detection.
