AI Redaction
10× the throughput.
In one supervised pass.
Bulk redaction for video, audio and documents. One workflow for UK SARs, BTP handovers, CPS disclosure and claims teams.
In active daily use by 5 UK police forces. Northumbria Police use the wider Aetopia evidence platform across 850,000+ assets. Read the case study.
Throughput versus manual frame-by-frame review.
Media types in one workflow: video, audio, documents and images.
Of masks reviewer-approved before export, with full audit trail.
How it works
Three steps, one supervised pass.
Detect
AI identifies faces, vehicle plates, voices and printed names automatically across video, audio, documents and images. No frame-by-frame drawing.
Review
Your team confirms or adjusts every mask before export. Auto-save, playback controls and side-by-side review keep long jobs moving without losing work.
Disclose
Export the redacted asset with an audit trail of who approved what and when, ready for SARs, BTP handovers, CPS disclosure or claimant-solicitor packs.
Video and audio redaction
Prepare footage and recordings for safe release.
Detect faces in video automatically and apply masks for reviewer approval before export. Mute or beep sensitive speech in audio. Clips from multiple cameras covering the same incident can be merged into a single asset and redacted in one pass, useful when one incident spans platform, carriage and on‑train footage.
Ideal for Freedom of Information responses, public release, and regulatory disclosure.
Document and image redaction
Protect personal data across reports, forms, and files.
Removes names, addresses and personal data from PDFs, scanned forms and still images. Apply consistent redaction standards across high‑volume disclosures, with reviewer approval on every redaction before the asset is exported.
The same review interface and audit trail handles documents alongside video and audio, so cross‑media disclosures stay in one workflow.
Flexible deployment
Redaction without platform or hardware lock‑in.
AI Redact runs with or without an Aetopia DAM platform, and works independently of body‑worn video, dashcam and CCTV systems. It can sit alongside the evidence and incident tools your teams already use rather than replace them.
A standalone capability, or part of wider Aetopia initiatives.

Built for operational teams
Control, accuracy, and accountability.
AI speeds up detection. Reviewers retain control over every redaction decision before export. Playback controls, review tools and automatic saving keep long or complex tasks moving without risk of lost work.
The balance matters when disclosure deadlines bite, and accuracy under pressure is the difference between a clean release and a regulator complaint.
