Anonymize CCTV Footage
Protect privacy before sharing CCTV video
Sharing CCTV footage often means removing identifying information first. AnonymizeVideo.app automatically blurs faces and other sensitive details before you send recordings to colleagues, insurers or the authorities — so you only disclose what you intend to.

Why anonymize security footage?
CCTV and security cameras routinely capture members of the public who are not the subject of an incident — passers-by, customers, staff and visitors. When footage leaves your premises, every person in frame becomes identifiable to whoever receives it. Blurring faces lets you hand over a useful recording while keeping uninvolved people anonymous.
Because AnonymizeVideo.app runs entirely inside your web browser, the original recording is never uploaded to a server or a third party. That matters for sensitive security material: the footage is decoded, redacted and re-encoded on your own computer, and the finished file is downloaded straight back to you.

How it works
Three steps, all in your browser — no software to install.
Add your recording
Drop in an MP4 or MOV export from your CCTV or DVR system. Nothing is uploaded — the file stays on your device.
Detect & review
Faces are detected automatically and tracked across the footage. Review each one and choose blur, pixelate or a solid block.
Export & share
Download the redacted video, ready to send to an insurer, colleague or the authorities with confidence.
Built for sensitive material
🔒 Stays on your device
All processing is local to your browser. Security footage is never sent to a cloud service, so there is no upload to manage or trust.
🎯 Review every face
Detection isn't a black box — inspect each detected face, adjust the sensitivity, and re-run to catch anyone the first pass missed.
🎞️ Keeps footage usable
Timestamps, scene and context stay intact. You remove identities, not the evidence value of the recording.
⚡ No installs
Works in a modern browser on the computer you already use. After the first visit it even runs offline.
Frequently asked questions
Is my CCTV footage uploaded anywhere?
No. The video is processed entirely in your browser on your own device. It is never uploaded to a server or shared with any third party.
What file formats can I use?
MP4 and MOV files work best, which covers most CCTV and DVR exports. You can export the redacted result as H.264 for maximum compatibility.
What if a face isn't detected?
After the scan you can lower the detection threshold and re-run to catch harder cases, or manually adjust which regions are redacted before exporting.
Does this make my disclosure legally compliant?
It's a tool to help you remove identifying details. Whether a particular disclosure meets your legal obligations is a decision for you or your advisers.
