            Face masking and blurring: video redaction plug-in - Making data privacy compliance simple and cost effective through Live and Playback blurring
Hide personal information when live footage is supervised. Easily provide redacted recordings of incidents. Roll out plug-ins in under 10 minutes.AI-powered video redaction software, Identity Cloak, helps busy teams stay on top of footage requests for CCTV, dashcam, bodycam and more. Automatically redact faces, people, licence plates, name tags and signage with a fully on-premise solution.
Under most data protection laws across the world, any person whose image is recorded on a CCTV system has a right to seek and be supplied with a copy of their own personal data from the footage. However, the identity of any other individuals who also feature in any part of that footage needs to be protected when the recording is shared with a third party.
Process data in-house to prevent data breaches. Investing in technologies that can automate privacy protection will help companies to comply with the data protection regulations, painlessly and efficiently.
