IoT / Smart Home Forensics covers a wide range of internet-connected home devices including Ring and Nest doorbells, Arlo and Nest cameras, Amazon Echo and Alexa devices, Google Home and Nest Hub, Apple HomePod, August, Schlage and Yale smart locks, Nest and Ecobee thermostats, Samsung SmartThings, and motion sensors. If your device is not listed, contact us, as our support is broad and constantly expanding.
This is one of the most critical factors in any smart home evidence case. Cloud-stored recordings from devices such as Ring, Nest, and Arlo are typically deleted automatically after 30 to 60 days, depending on the subscription plan. Local device logs may have shorter or longer retention windows depending on the device. Once deleted from the cloud, this data is extremely difficult to recover.
Often yes. Many smart home devices store data locally on the device itself, independent of the cloud account. Our certified examiners can access this locally stored data forensically without requiring cloud credentials in many cases. The extent of local vs cloud storage varies by device make and model. We confirm what is accessible during your free case evaluation before any work begins.
Yes. Voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomePod log command history with precise timestamps. IoT / Smart Home Forensics can recover these activity records, which capture interactions at an exact date and time. This data has been used in legal cases to establish presence at a location, confirm or contradict statements, and provide a timestamped record of activity inside a home at a specific moment.
Smart lock access logs record every lock and unlock event, including the method used (whether physical key, keypad code, or remote app, the specific user credential, and the precise timestamp. IoT / Smart Home Forensics recovers these records from devices such as August, Schlage, and Yale smart locks. This data is used in family law, criminal defense, domestic incident, and restraining order cases to establish definitively who accessed a property and when, independently of any witness account.
In some cases, yes. A factory reset deletes local data, but if cloud backup was enabled, recordings and activity logs may still be recoverable from the cloud account. Some devices also retain partial logs locally after a reset. Contact us immediately, and we will assess what remains recoverable both locally and in the cloud.
Yes. Doorbell motion triggers, smart lock access records, voice assistant interactions, and occupancy sensor data all generate precise, device-recorded timestamps that courts treat as objective evidence. IoT / Smart Home Forensics extracts and documents this data under full chain-of-custody for use in criminal defense and prosecution proceedings.
Yes, through legally authorized channels. Our examiners assist attorneys with subpoena preparation and formal legal requests to the device manufacturer or cloud service provider to compel production of stored data. In some cases, local data on the device may also be accessible forensically without requiring account credentials at all.
