Court-ready video authentication for legal proceedings, insurance documentation, or workplace compliance: record, stop, certify.

Step by Step

Certify a Video in Three Steps

1

Open the App

Download TrueScreen for free on iOS or Android. Tap the central button and select “Record video.” Allow access to your location and camera. Chain of custody begins from the first frame.

2

Record the Video

Record the video as you normally would. TrueScreen locks GPS coordinates, device data, and a cryptographic hash from the first frame to the last. After recording, select key frames that will appear as a preview in the forensic report.

What You Get

Every Certified Video Includes

Forensic Report

A court-ready PDF documenting every detail of the forensic video acquisition per ISO 27037 guidelines. Admissible as digital evidence in civil and criminal proceedings.

Digital Signature

A qualified digital signature under eIDAS (EU 910/2014) seals your certified video. Any alteration to any frame breaks the cryptographic seal and is immediately detectable.

Certified Timestamp

Legally binding date and time from a Qualified Trust Service Provider (RFC 3161). Impossible to backdate or alter.

GPS Coordinates

Certified GPS coordinates prove exactly where the video was recorded. Location data is locked continuously during the recording, eliminating location disputes.

Device Metadata

Model, OS, sensors, and network data captured during the entire recording. A complete device fingerprint that makes the origin of the video verifiable.

Chain of Custody

Every step from the first frame to final certification is logged and cryptographically sealed. An unbroken chain of custody guarantees your video evidence has never been tampered with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any video recorded through the TrueScreen app: workplace incidents, property conditions, product defects, security events, and more. Each certification includes a forensic report with GPS, digital signature, and certified timestamp.

Yes. Direct recording through the app establishes a complete chain of custody with device metadata, GPS, and anti-tampering controls. Videos recorded outside the app cannot be forensically certified.

Full evidentiary value. A qualified digital signature (eIDAS) and RFC 3161 certified timestamp make the video admissible as evidence in courts across EU member states and eIDAS-compliant jurisdictions.

The app supports recordings of several minutes. Longer recordings produce larger forensic reports, but the certification process and legal value remain identical regardless of duration.

It never expires. The digital signature and certified timestamp permanently seal your video. Your evidence remains admissible indefinitely.
