Face Redaction in OpenEye Web Services

Protect individual privacy by redacting faces in video clips within OpenEye Web Services (OWS). Users can blur faces shown in footage when sharing with internal teams, authorities, or investigation partners, preserving the usefulness of the video while maintaining privacy. You may need to share video for compliance, training, or investigative review without exposing identifiable individuals. Face Redaction helps you create a redacted copy for safer sharing while keeping the original clip available for investigations, audits, and evidence.

NOTE: Face Redaction is currently in beta. All beta requests must be directed through your OpenEye Sales Representative.

NOTE:  Face Redaction is only available with certain licensing tiers. See OWS Licensing for more information.
