Redact security footage without a dedicated redaction suite

Redact security footage without a dedicated redaction suite

Security footage redaction usually means hiding identities and sensitive details before a clip leaves your organization. BGBlur lets teams upload surveillance exports and apply AI-assisted redaction for faces, plates, and selected objects directly in the browser. It is a practical option when you need redacted video quickly and do not want a complex on-prem redaction platform for every request.

Prepare CCTV clips for insurance and incident review

Insurance claims, property damage reports, slip-and-fall investigations, and workplace incidents often require sharing CCTV footage externally. Those recipients should not receive unredacted bystander identities. BGBlur helps redact security footage automatically so adjusters, counsel, and investigators can review the event while personal data stays protected.

Support legal, HR, and compliance review workflows

Support legal, HR, and compliance review workflows

Legal and HR teams frequently need redacted copies of security video for hearings, employee matters, vendor audits, and regulatory response. BGBlur provides a fast redaction layer for exported clips, helping teams meet privacy expectations while preserving camera perspective, movement, and timing that matter to the review.

Redact multiple identifier types in one workflow

Security footage redaction is rarely face-only. A single camera angle may expose faces, vehicle plates, uniform badges, access cards, on-screen text, and private documents. BGBlur supports combined redaction workflows so teams can anonymize the identifiers most relevant to each clip before sending it outside the security operations center.

Better surveillance sharing for public and partner communication

Better surveillance sharing for public and partner communication

When organizations publish security footage to explain an incident, respond to media inquiries, or coordinate with partners, redaction quality affects trust and compliance. BGBlur helps produce cleaner redacted exports that hide identities consistently across frames, making security footage safer to share without losing the visual evidence value of the original recording.
