Insurance claims, YouTube compilations, GDPR requests — dashcam clips are full of plates and faces that belong to strangers. RedactCam blurs them in your browser: the footage never leaves your machine, and the result is a normal MP4 with the audio intact.
MP4 or WebM straight from the card. No conversion, no upload queue, no account.
Plates and faces are detected on sampled frames and tracked in between, with a motion margin so moving vehicles stay covered.
Re-encoded on your machine with audio passed through. Post it, file it, or send it to your insurer.
Tools that blur plates in video are traditionally sold to police departments and fleets — hundreds to thousands per year, because every minute of footage runs on the vendor's GPU servers. RedactCam runs on yours. That's the whole trick, and it's why a dashcam owner can have the same capability for free.
Dashcam files can contain more than pictures: many cameras embed your GPS track inside the MP4. RedactCam's re-encode carries over only the picture and sound. RedactCam inspects each clip for embedded GPS — GoPro tracks, phone location tags, dashcam route records — strips them by rebuilding the file, and verifies the output is clean.
As long as you like. Processing runs at roughly real-time speed on a typical laptop, so a minute of footage takes about a minute.
Yes — audio is passed through untouched. Only the picture is re-encoded.
Yes — detections are tracked between frames with an expanded margin so vehicles in motion stay covered. As with all automated redaction, spot-check the result before publishing.
No. Decoding, detection, and re-encoding all happen inside your browser. You can process a clip in airplane mode.
