BlockBox Lab XL — With Mounted Webcam and Tablet

This enhanced model adds a full documentation system to the standard BlockBox Lab XL — an internal camera feeds a mounted external screen, so operators watch, operate, and record every step of an interrogation while the chamber stays sealed. It is the version forensic teams reach for when the entire workflow has to be captured, not just observed.

What Sets This Model Apart

See Inside Without Breaking The Seal.

This enhanced model adds a full documentation system to the standard BlockBox Lab XL: an internal camera feeds a mounted external screen, so operators watch and record every step of an interrogation while the chamber stays sealed.

01 · Internal Camera

Anker PowerConf C200 2K Webcam

Mounted internally to the lid, the ultra-clear 2K webcam captures a wide field of view so you can watch and record device interrogations in detail.

02 · External Screen

13" Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet

The Surface Pro attaches to the lid with a magnetic backing, so it lifts off in seconds and can be repositioned or mounted nearby for a better viewing angle. It runs Microsoft-compatible forensic programs and documents interrogations with laptop-class performance.

Shielded USB Filter Through Lid

A shielded USB filter through the lid connects the internal camera to the external tablet, keeping the RF seal intact while the live feed passes out to the screen.

+ Vent & Fan Configuration

Keep Your Processing Cool.

High-processing extraction tools generate heat inside a sealed enclosure. The vent-and-fan build adds active thermal management that lowers internal temperature, protects sensitive electronics, and helps prevent device swelling, all without compromising RF shielding.

Comparing the standard model to the mounted webcam and tablet variation, highlighting the newest features and premium accessories.

Removable Tablet

Detach And Reposition

The 13" Surface Pro is held to the lid by a magnetic backing, so it lifts off in seconds without any tools. Set it flat on the bench or reposition it nearby at eye level for the clearest view of the live feed, then snap it back to the lid for transport. It stays tethered to the shielded USB filter the entire time, so the camera link holds and the chamber never breaks its RF seal.

Chain Of Custody

From The Field To The Lab.

The BlockBox Lab XL is the analysis stage in an unbroken, RF-protected evidence workflow. Devices stay shielded and powered from seizure through extraction.

Where It Works

Applications

Lab forensic analysis State, local, federal & military forensics Mobile device & IoT testing Anti-tracking & counter-surveillance Faraday bag transfer chamber EMP & CME protection GrayKey, Cellebrite, XRY, BlackBag & Oxygen workflows
Opening a NeoLok faraday bag with conductive gloves inside the sealed BlockBox Lab XL as a transfer chamber
Use Case

Doubles As A Faraday Bag Transfer Chamber

Place a sealed Faraday bag inside, close the lid, and open it with the conductive gloves to move a device between bags (for example into a Charge & Shield bag) without ever exposing it to RF. Reseal the new bag, open the lid, and the device leaves still shielded. NeoLok magnetic-closure bags are preferred so gloves are never at risk from Velcro or scissors.

Customization requests are welcome — some common options:

  • Add an RJ45 ethernet port (+$350) or a vent and fan (+$400) to a non-vent build.
  • Untested tablets are not advised due to compatibility. For bulk inquiries, we can test different tablets on request.
  • Already own a standard BlockBox Lab XL? Purchase the separate camera-and-tablet lid and components to upgrade it yourself.

Contact us for a tailored quote.

Once the analysis process begins, we use a BlockBox Lab XL to remove the phone from the faraday bag and connect it to our forensic processing tool where it is processed while it remains in a faraday protected environment. By keeping the devices on, powered and in a protected environment we’ve had better success getting into the majority of the devices we process very quickly.
