Privacy Applications

Automatically mask faces, persons, and vehicles in your video footage to keep your sites secure and meet privacy regulations.

Security That Protects — Without Compromising Privacy

Modern surveillance systems collect an enormous amount of video data. With that comes a growing responsibility: protecting the privacy of the individuals captured on camera — employees, tenants, customers, and bystanders — while still maintaining the security your sites require.

Clear Watch privacy applications use AI to automatically detect and mask people, faces, and vehicles in video footage — giving you the security intelligence you need without exposing sensitive personal information. Whether you're sharing footage with law enforcement, complying with privacy regulations, or simply protecting tenant privacy, our system handles it automatically.

What Gets Protected — Three Layers of Privacy Protection

Clear Watch automatically identifies and masks three categories of sensitive data in your video footage — faces, persons, and vehicles — to meet your privacy and compliance requirements.

  • Automatic face detection across all camera feeds

  • Real-time and recorded footage masking

  • Selective unmasking with authorization

  • GDPR & privacy regulation compliance support

  • Preserves footage usability for security purposes
