Video redaction
Need to make use of CCTV footage? To comply with GDPR, you’ll be needing our video redaction service.
Video images or HD CCTV footage can reveal large amounts of personal data, from credit card numbers to car number plates. It’s a compliance nightmare. That’s why the Data Protection Act and GDPR require the careful scrubbing out of ‘personally identifying information’ (yep, including tattoos) from CCTV footage before it can be used in all kinds of different situations. That could be when you’re building a case against a serial shoplifter, going through disciplinary or insurance proceedings, or even putting together training materials.
You don’t need us to tell you that not complying with data protection rules and regs can land you hefty fines. The problem is, sifting through footage and manually blurring or pixelating the faces, tattoos and other identifying features of anyone not relevant to an enquiry takes a colossal amount of time.
That’s where our highly trained Security Industry Authority staff can save you invaluable time and money – as well as protecting the privacy and dignity of innocent folk caught on camera.
What can our video redaction service remove?
Our advanced technology allows us to quickly remove pretty much anything from your CCTV footage to make it GDPR compliant, such as:
- Faces
- Tattoos or other distinguishing marks or features
- Vehicle number and licence plates
- Minors or vulnerable people
- Members of the public or victims
- Sensitive or explicit content
- Branding or location information
Our intelligent software can do this for single or multiple people in the footage, and we can even blur the whole scene except for the person of interest. We can also work with existing video, including footage from a legacy system, and it’s even possible to process it live.
You can submit redaction requests and receive the finished footage through our in-house myFacility platform, so it couldn’t be easier to take advantage of this powerful time- and money-saving service.
Don’t waste hours manually redacting video footage – let us take the strain and get compliant footage over to you in record time. Give us a call on 01749 600 600 and we’d be delighted to answer any of your questions and discuss your business needs.
