For each tape submitted with your request please include the following
detail information:
- Approximate dimensions of the location where the recording was made
- Approximate number of voices recorded
- Diagram of location where recording was made with microphone/camera location identified
- Where possible, specify microphone/camera model number, serial number
- Information about the contents of the tape
- Any peculiarities about the content/recording
- Physical location or time marking on the tape where the target information is located (see example above)
In order for us to achieve the best audio or video enhancement, original
tapes should be used. Copies of the original are often of a degraded
quality, and may limit the enhancement request. If possible, submit
copies only as a last resort.
If you have advance knowledge of surveillance, please call first and
we'll be happy to provide you assistance that will later help us handle
your media more efficiently.
