Hi, I am wanting to try and recover some digitally deleted CCTV footage from the council. They have said it has been digitally deleted, is there any chance of recovering it? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for reply. A drinking establishment, as far as I am aware it is not a chain company.

Hi, I am going to ask a bar if it would be possible to try retrieve footage from their system from 2009, does anyone know of any companies/ anyone that would be able to do this? Regards

Hi thanks for the replies. Basically, the police did not collect CCTV properly when they should have done ( not getting it at the right time etc) which has had disastrous consequences. Any CCTV footage or any chance or recovering it would be such an enormous help. The council is Manchester council and want to get it from the Oxford Road area, Piccadilly area and the city center. Have asked what system was been used, will post it up when they reply. Thanks

Hi, this is the reply that I received from the council today, "It means that the CCTV system is set up to automatically delete footage after 30 days. It is not deleted manually."

Thanks for the reply, I have emailed the council asking what they mean by digitally deleting something. When they reply I will copy it so you can see what they mean by it.

Thanks for your replies. I don't know alot about cctv. So there is no chance of recovering data from 2009. It is really important that if it is possible to try it. Would it be worth questionng about why the say it has been digitally deleted?

Hi thank you for all your replies, I have previously emailed the council to ask if they still have footage, this is part of the reply I received : "X City Council only keeps CCTV footage for 30 days and then it is digitally deleted. Therefore, on this occasion the Council is unable to assist you further on this matter. " What information or what would you recommend to do, the footage that is needed is from 2009, is it still possible to get it from back then. Thanks
