Frequently Asked Questions
What is video anonymization?
Video anonymization is the process of removing or obscuring all personally identifiable information (PII) from video footage — primarily faces, license plates, and other identifiers — so individuals can no longer be recognized. Under GDPR, properly anonymized video is no longer considered personal data.
Is video anonymization required by GDPR?
GDPR does not mandate anonymization, but it does require a lawful basis to process video containing identifiable individuals. If you cannot establish consent or another lawful basis, anonymization (blurring faces) is the compliant path to storing or sharing the footage.
What is the difference between video anonymization and video redaction?
The terms are often used interchangeably. "Redaction" typically refers to removing specific sensitive data (e.g., blurring a face or license plate), while "anonymization" refers to making an individual completely unidentifiable. Full anonymization requires all identifying features to be removed.
Can I anonymize CCTV footage in bulk?
Yes. Guardiavision supports batch processing — upload multiple video files and the AI processes them simultaneously. This is ideal for organizations handling large volumes of CCTV footage for DSAR responses or data retention compliance.
How long does video anonymization take with AI?
Processing time depends on video length, resolution, and the number of subjects. A typical 1-minute HD video takes 30–60 seconds. Guardiavision processes at roughly 2–4x real-time speed on standard cloud infrastructure.
