What is video redaction?

Video redaction definition

Video redaction is the process of permanently obscuring identifying details, such as faces and license plates, in video footage before it is shared or released. It is widely used for body-camera and CCTV footage, freedom-of-information requests, court evidence, and research datasets, where individuals other than the subject must be protected.

Effective redaction is irreversible, so the hidden information cannot be recovered. Gallio PRO detects and redacts faces and plates automatically, and lets you review and adjust each detection before export.
