Law enforcement
No matter how many tools you have to acquire data from a phone, there will always be pieces of information you can not get or entire devices you can not process with software. That is why practitioners of cell phone forensics at federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies around the globe use the Project-a-Phone ICD systems to gather evidence by recording screenshots and video clips from cell phones and other handheld devices. Lawyers in turn use Project-a-Phone systems to present evidence in court.
Project-a-Phone systems are used as a backup to software solutions or as a simple, affordable way to bring basic cell phone forensics in house. They offer the following benefits:
 |
One system, one cable handles virtually any device, even phones that do not have a software solution |
|
Takes screen shots or makes audio and video recordings |
|
Lets you name and save files automatically |
|
Minimal or no training required |
|
Lets you present evidence directly from a phone, so a jury or other audience understands it better |
|
Captures messages in character-based languages (e.g. Arabic, Chinese) |
|
Portable, flexible and simple enough for field use |
|
Significantly less expensive than software solutions |
"It is a compact, self contained tool that will save investigators considerable time in cell phone forensics."

"There is really only one 'sure fire' way to document text messages, call logs, etc. from ALL cell phones. That way is to take pictures of the actual screen of the phone ... . We use a device called Project-a-Phone that only costs $295, which is a bargain for documenting cell phone contents. We also have several multi-thousand dollar software/hardware combinations to get the cell phone data. However, no single solution gets all of the data from EVERY cell phone."

"I have recently conducted a excellent demo in court involving a case of domestic harassment. The new software in my ICD5000 proved its weight in gold and secured a conviction. The court and jury were impressed with the demo which enabled them to cruise through the evidence and understand it easliy as it was right in front of their eyes in glorious technicolour."

"Until we discovered Project-a-Phone, we had to use simulations for our training demonstrations. Now, we can show end users the real thing. This creates a more interactive, customized learning experience and saves us from having to recreate simulations every time we want to show a new feature or enhancement."
