How are enhancement effects useful when redacting a video?

In CaseGuard Studio, you can choose from 30+ enhancement effects that can aid in concealing or clearer objects within a Video. Each effect has an intuitive slider that gives users full control over the intensity of the effect being applied. A higher intensity of blur is needed for objects closer to the camera, while a higher intensity of the magnifying effect may be used for objects further away from the camera.

Each Licence comes with all the different Enhancement Effects which can be stacked on top of each other to better hide or visualize an object within a video. For example, Investigators use CaseGuard’s enhancement effects to sharpen and magnify blurry or dark videos which have helped in solving crimes!

Shapes

  • Rectangle
