What 'evidence-grade' recording really means in a digital court

A recording is only as good as its chain of custody. Evidence-grade means it can be trusted years later, in front of anyone.

Digital courts depend on recordings — of hearings, testimonies, and proceedings. But not all recordings are equal. An evidence-grade recording must be tamper-evident, time-stamped, securely stored, and accompanied by a complete chain of custody that can withstand legal scrutiny.

Unicorn's uRecord platform delivers exactly this: court recording that meets the highest evidentiary standards, with role-based access, encryption, and audit trails that ensure every recording can be trusted — not just today, but years from now, in any jurisdiction.
