Why is video redaction in the venues and museums sectors important?

Venues and museums are seeing an increase in police incidents and data requests. With increased exposure through social media, there is more video data which requires redacting. With strict data protection rules, operators must ensure they redact those not required for the request and ensure the publics’ privacy rights are intact.

How does video redaction software in the venues and museums sectors work?

While different types of video redaction software may have different approaches, Identity Cloak uses AI technology. It recognises faces, bodies and licence plates, automatically tracks these objects, whether still or in motion, and adds a “blur” around the subject or subjects of interest. With Identity Cloak, you can also select specific areas to protect privacy rights of your staff and members of the public. The original file is left unchanged for data integrity and the new redacted footage is irreversible to ensure data security is upheld.
