The Archived video includes a digitally signed video file and an Anavio player that confirms the video file’s integrity before it can be viewed. This verification step ensures the video has not been modified or tampered with.

• File Integrity:
  The system calculates a checksum/hash for each export to confirm that video files have not been altered.

• Authenticity:
  Exports include a cryptographic signature to verify the origin of the footage and confirm it was generated by an authentic Anavio system.

• Evidentiary Validation:
  Validation ensures a tamper-resistant export suitable for forensic review and court-admissible evidence workflows.

All archived video downloads in Anavio are delivered as a ZIP file, which includes the Anavio player. The Archive feature is only available to Full Access, Manager, and Supervisor roles.
