Swann provides professional services to recover, salvage, backup and restore accidentally deleted/ reformatted security footage from its DVR hard drive. It helps in retaining the complete data of all hard drives attached or connected to Swann NVR or CCTV systems. The Swann 4-channel surveillance system is perfect if you like keeping an eye on your home, office or store. It’s powered by a hard drive in the DVR (digital video recorder), which lets you record security footage in high definition, and comes with four security cameras that can be positioned anywhere to give you four different views of what’s happening.

Sometimes the footage can get lost or deleted automatically or manually. So, if you need to access content from DVR hard drive then this process is not easy and takes lots of time. Though there are few other products in the market who can retrieve deleted CCTV video footage, they also limit you in some ways and demand lots of money. If you get into such a situation where there is no access to the DVR or your Swann Camera has lost video footage, then you can get a CCTV video recovery service from Recovery Squad.
