Quest Engineering provides forensic surveillance video capture and analysis for accidents, crashes, and other critical incidents. We analyze footage recorded by security cameras, dash cameras, traffic systems, and mobile devices. During our scene inspections, we canvass the area to locate and preserve available source footage. Our team evaluates file properties, frame timing, camera perspective, image geometry, and visible vehicle or pedestrian movement.

Advanced Accident Reconstruction Techniques

Because surveillance systems vary in frame rate, compression, lens distortion, and time accuracy, each recording requires careful evaluation. Our engineers and scientists utilize photogrammetry, scene measurements, and 3D laser scan data to accurately determine:
 

• Vehicle and pedestrian positions

• Relative distances and spacing

• Travel speeds and acceleration rates

• Precise event timing
   

When required, we animate or simulate the event to demonstrate views and perspectives not directly captured by the raw video file.​
