Hey Fellow MXU Easters!

We got DVR1 working in the lab here from 90A-NY-3151227 (Epstein). It is my understanding that we would like to get the rest of the video into TTK and speaking with Galotti it's us

Looking through the software it appears there is an export all function? Maybe? Otherwise by camera and time. Do we have any specific procedures to follow for this operation? Any specific folder structure to follow? Naming convention?

DVR exports are outside of my area of expertise and just wanna make sure we are following whatever policies we have in place.

Adding the Examiner to this thread to keep everyone in QT on the same page. He is currently making an image after which we will be open to export.

All,

Adding a few people to the CC: for status purposes.

Adding a few people to the CC: for status purposes.

I received the following request from █████ on date/time of interest for the cameras that we have available:

EFTA01649179

I'm sending the camera views that we are interested in seeing if we have.... I'll send them separately since every time I try — I get the "too large to send" message (even tried doing the zip file)

• 9th Floor Sally Port (this is the CH 62 we were inquiring about Friday)

• L-Tier Hallway

• Entrance into the SHU on the 9th Floor

• Closer View of the Entrance into the SHU on the 9th Floor

• View of Officers' Desk and Entrance into L-Tier

• Another View of the Officers' Desk and Entrance into L-Tier

The photos were taken from underneath the cameras — so, the angle may be a bit different.

Other than having photos of these camera views, another way to identify any camera of interest will be the activity observed from 6:33am-6:50am on August 10.... The Corrections Officers discovered Epstein at approximately 6:33 am and sounded a body alarm — there were numerous people who responded — so, there should be a flurry of activity a short time after the body alarm sounded... especially on L-Tier and the in SHU.

Another option — which may take some time — is to upload all the camera views for 6am-7am on 8/10 to TTK and I can view them....

You can just hit me up on my cell (██████████) to get clarification....

Thanks so much!

███████ additionally sent 6 photos to help with identification. I have placed them on the network at ██████████████████████████████████████████████████

I am currently creating an image of one of the mounted disks from the DVR 1 array. Once that is complete I understand the plan was for | to export all the data available on DVR 1 for review in TTK. Based on | request I'm guessing that probably exporting all cameras for the time frame of interest would be a start and then grab all the other video later. But I'll defer to the DVR experts and your procedures.

M... I have added you to the network share so that you can review the photos | sent. I'll let you know when the image is finished so that you can begin exports. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks...

Email below. In short, ████████ is working on the exports now.

When you get video that the case squad needs please get it up on the network so we can put it in UK. FYI the server that has the original footage is down but we have a place to put new stuff that is working fine

We are getting a flurry of questions from the 7th floor regarding matters directly or indirectly related to the review of this video. I understand TTK has been down now for over a week. Please let me know when you expect the video to be viewable on UK so that we can properly manage the expectations of the AD, EAD, and DD.

Thanks

Afternoon

MXU just received the new footage for the 0600-0700 timeframe within the hour and our video folks are working on transcoding that now. It should be available in UK for review by COB.

Additionally, we migrated all previously received footage to the new, functioning instance of UK and can be reviewed. Moore is aware.

ALCON,

Update: the new footage has been uploaded to TTK under facility "13166-DVRWExport". This includes all cameras on 10 Aug from 0600-0700.

Hi

I have another question — surprise! O OIG, who is running a parallel investigation with us, is requesting a copy of all the available video footage. Is this a possibility and if so, what is the easiest way to go about this?

Thanks!!!

Hey

Sure we can provide all the files on a drive or however they want them. When you say "all of the available footage", do you mean everything off both DVRs? Or just what we've processed for you guys so far? Also, this data is all in a proprietary format and our video folks have transcoded every file in order for it to be playable for you all. I assume 016 will need the transcoded video as well?

Subject: RE: DVR1 Exports --- UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

Great! I'm waiting for a call back from the lead OIG Agent as to whether they just want it in the original/proprietary format or the format that has been transcoded and playable - I will hopefully have an answer at some point by tomorrow....

As far as all of the available footage, it would be all of that on DVR1 --- unless a miracle took place and DVR2 is now up and running....????

<███████>

Any word from OIG?

Nope --- I'll reach out and see what decision (if any) was made.... Seemed like a hot button issue for them when I reached out to you guys about it — and then crickets

Typical

Ok --- so just got a call back.... They would like a copy of the original data that is in the proprietary format and the viewable/transcoded data as well..... SORRY!!!!

Can you please let them know that the proprietary data is totally useless, they will not be able to view it

Already did – they want it anyway….

█████, how much data is it? █████ can you ask them if they can provide us with hard dives to put it on?

Looks like about 13.8GB

Correction: that’s just what’s in TTK. I’m not sure we uploaded everything received, we were uploading piecemeal per ██████ requirements. I’ll have an answer for you tomorrow.

Good Morning █████ and ██ ---

I know you guys have had a nice break from everything Epstein.... However, I'm back O We are preparing for discovery now and I have to get exact answers regarding all the video that we have available. I apologize in advance for all of these questions!

• We are going to turn over all available footage for the SHU area at MCC — which is on CH0082, CH0080, and CH0062. The date range for these video channels is July 23, 2019 at 12am — August 10, 2019 at 11:59pm, right? To download all of this footage, what size hard drive will be needed (or how many should I request)?

• What is the total number of cameras that are available on DVR1?

• We don't have a camera list that actually correctly names the location of the cameras, correct? Lists that I have seen were wrong but I'm not sure if one exists that is correct....

• As far as DVR 2, there was a system failure that caused that DVR to stop recording. I know that there would be no available footage beyond July 29 for that DVR (right?). I also know that QT was going to have to try and rebuild it manually. Did they every recover any footage or did they discontinue efforts once we told them that dates prior to July 29th weren't of interest? I'm not sure where they left off with that part....

Again — sorry for all these questions.... I just want to make sure I tell the AUSAs correctly and not rely on my memory (or the 5,000 emails I have in my inbox regarding all of this LOL)....

Thanks!
██████

Hi - I'm just circling back around to see if you guys have had a chance to check into the below questions.... Sorry — I was just informed that discovery is due the end of December... So — just trying to get things done before the holidays!

Thanks!

"Can you answer the questions about DVR"

I worked on DVR1, and helped ██████ export part of the day of interest. ██ has the paperwork; and list of cameras that were available for DVR1

I have not worked on DVR2 at all.

If there is a Data Recovery need for DVR2, then please write an EC requesting what you want recovered. I am CC'ing Walt (My Supervisor) to keep him in the loop.

Regards,

I got looped into the discussion below and you can see the responses that floated around. You are correct in your assumption of DVR2, we have not done anything with it since the dates are outside your dates of interest and manual rebuilding of DVR2 was not going to be a simple task.

EFTA01649171

To that end, the data on DVR2 might(major emphasis on might) be recoverable, but this will be a long term project, likely 6 or more months, requiring research and testing, in order to potentially obtain useable video from the DVR. There is no guarantee of success and that must be weighed with how much time and resource we want to throw at It vs what you MIGHT be able recover.

If this is something you want OTD/DFAS/DFAU to move forward with, let's discuss it further via conference call and then we'll ask you to follow up with a EC request to address this specifically.

Thanks,

Good Morning

Thanks for getting the answers to my question regarding the MCC Video. I'm going to talk things over with the AUSAs this week concerning DVR2 — but I'm pretty sure we are going to leave things with that as is....

As far as getting all the video from DVR1 onto harddrives, do I need to submit some kind of request for that? I know that that will take a while — so, priority will be for Camera Channels CH0082, CH0080, and CH0062. Those will be turned over to defense counsel — and the other video will be turned over if requested by defense. We will just advise that other video exists for other parts of MCC (We are going to turn over the list of cameras — from the email chain, looks like we have a correct list available -| , is that right?). [ ]

Just let me know what I need to do on my end...

Thanks!

Based off of a visual review of CH62, the DVR1 contains video footage from 7/5/19 through 8/12/19. I have adjusted my current export to start on 7/5, exporting all video from 7/5 to 8/12 for CH62, Ch80 and CH82. This video will be uploaded for MXU transcoding once completed.

I will then begin to download ALL video from 7/5 to 8/12 for ALL @72 cameras. This will take some time as I can only download one date at a time. This video will be uploaded for MXU transcoding once completed.

MXU will then be able to copy all videos over to a hard drive for you.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

Kimberley-

Thanks so much for your help with this.... Per my conversation with one of the AUSAs today, only CH62, CH80 and CH82 from 7/5/19-8/12/19 will be needed at this time for discovery purposes.

If that changes (fingers crossed it won't), I'll let you know...

Thanks!
