  • Videos CANNOT be unblurred when processed with Secure Redact.

    Each frame of a video is an image. An image is made up of pixels. The process of redaction alters the original pixel data within an image. The information in the redacted regions has been destroyed. The original pixel data cannot be retrieved from the redacted version. For videos this process is applied on every frame to generate a redacted video. The redaction algorithm used is unique to Secure Redact and is dependant on the input image data and random injection to ensure it can't be reversed.

  • Given the diversity of CCTV, Body worn and dash cam footage, no solution will ever be 100% accurate across all real-world video content, but that is something we are striving towards.

    The Secure Redact system provides maximum recall rates currently exceeding 99% of identifiable PII in security video.
