How to quickly redact a stationary object in a video

While CaseGuard offers an incredible AI automatic detection option, there is no redaction task too big or small for what the software can do. For example, if you need to redact a video taken in an interview room with a stationary camera and a still subject, AI detection may be too big of a tool for the job. In instances such as this one, Manual Video Redaction is a fast and easy way to accomplish this job.

For footage recorded by a stationary camera such as CCTV, there is a simple way to redact objects that have little or no movement.

  • Add your video to CaseGuard Studio.
  • Select “Manual Video” from the Left Toolbar.
