I recently discovered a hidden spy camera in my girlfriend's former shared flat. It was found in a storage bag and was no longer installed, but it was connected to a power source and had a network cable. We checked the SD card and found around 100 videos, but most were encrypted. Only two videos were not encrypted, and unfortunately, they show my girlfriend in the shower. These recordings are all from one day, just three days before the flatmate moved out. I'm looking for advice on a few things:
1. What does it mean that only two out of 100 videos were not encrypted? Could this imply they were downloaded by someone?
2. I know the encryption method matters, but is it possible to say how difficult it would be to decrypt the remaining videos?
3. Is there a way to search online for any potentially leaked video content without visiting illegal sites?
4. Overall, what kind of information can we gather from the SD card and the camera?
Thanks for reading! My girlfriend is already working with law enforcement, but I want to be prepared for the next steps. The SD card and camera are sealed and won't be touched again.

Honestly, it's tough to provide specific advice without a proper analysis of the SD card. That's something law enforcement should handle, so it's good you're involving them. Just avoid touching the card or camera any more to keep the chain of evidence intact.
I get that this is serious, but calling the police is your best option. They can guide you on what to do and handle the evidence correctly.
This definitely sounds like a legal issue more than a technical one. Focus on getting proper help from law enforcement; they'll know how to deal with this situation best.
You really don’t want to fiddle with the SD card or the camera. Keep them sealed up for the police. They'll have the tools and knowledge to investigate it without messing up any evidence.
Exactly! It's better to leave it to the professionals. Doing your homework is fine, but safety and legal processes should come first.
