Automated Video Evidence Redaction

The high cost of redacting (masking) sensitive information for third party requests for video evidence is having an impact on commercial businesses, and public safety and judicial agencies. Yet redaction is required to comply with privacy regulations or to keep witnesses safe and comply with freedom of information laws and consent decrees.

Identity Cloak automatically detects faces and anonymizes people within a scene. It takes only minutes to redact all but the person(s) of interest, after which compliant video evidence can be shared to fulfil requests for video footage or support chain of custody requirements.

Accelerate Evidence Redaction Workflows with AI

High footfall venues, businesses, hospitals, law enforcement and judicial agencies can use identity Cloak to automate the process of obscuring identities in shared video footage or media evidence. Identity Cloak significantly reduces the time involved in frame-by-frame evidence redaction workflows and the cost of outsourced processes.

With automated detection and redaction, Identity Cloak enables users to process large volumes of video content quickly and efficiently.

Redaction for Court Cases (PII masking)
