  4. Pay $10

Before a clip is handed over or published

Security cameras catch people and vehicles with nothing to do with the incident. Export the clip from your recorder and upload it as it is.

What it can miss

Small faces under a high, wide camera, and plates far away or in glare. Whole people is usually the better choice for CCTV, because it covers the shape rather than looking for a face.

Questions about redacting CCTV footage

How do I blur people in security camera footage?
Upload the exported clip, choose Whole people, check the preview, pay. Everyone found is blurred in every frame.
Can I keep one person visible?
Only by age. Faces with an age set leaves adults visible; otherwise everyone found is covered.
Does it work on grainy or night footage?
It works on the picture as recorded. Grain and darkness make faces harder to find, which is why Whole people suits CCTV and why the preview comes first.
