WOLFCOM Automatic Smart Redaction vs. Sighthound

Law enforcement agencies frequently allocate considerable time and resources to the video redaction process before making footage public. To alleviate the challenges associated with this task, we have developed a video redaction tool that provides both automated and manual redaction options. With each license of our WOLFCOM Evidence Management Software (WEMS), users gain access to free basic redaction features. This basic functionality enables users to manually blur faces by simply drawing a square over the area of interest in the video, a feature that is available at no charge to all WEMS users. Should the subject move during playback, the software allows users to easily reposition the square without the need to redraw it, as it intelligently tracks the square’s movement across video frames. This capability ensures that the redaction process is both smooth and efficient. Furthermore, our software includes an optional smart video redaction feature, giving users the ability to select their preferred method of redaction. Ultimately, our solution aims to improve both productivity and user-friendliness for those responsible for handling sensitive video material, making the entire process more manageable and less time-consuming. In doing so, we hope to support law enforcement in their efforts to maintain transparency while safeguarding privacy.

Sighthound's cutting-edge AI-powered video technology leverages your data to deliver valuable insights into user behavior, reduce operational costs, and boost revenue, all while maintaining privacy and excelling in vehicle identification. This state-of-the-art deep learning framework originates from Sighthound's specialized computer vision research lab and incorporates patented innovations that perform well in both commercial applications and academic evaluations. The system can accurately identify vehicles using both stationary and dynamic cameras, providing detailed information on make, model, color, and generation for any vehicle produced since 1991. In addition, it possesses the capability to read license plates from various international regions, offering alphanumeric data along with local details for the United States, Canada, and major European countries. Furthermore, the technology effectively distinguishes different vehicle types, such as trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians, while meticulously tracking their movements throughout recorded footage to ensure thorough surveillance and analysis. This sophisticated functionality revolutionizes how businesses interact with their surroundings, enabling enhanced comprehension of traffic patterns and security protocols, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making processes. By integrating these advanced analytics into their operations, organizations can not only improve safety but also optimize their resource allocation in real-time.
