Common Questions
Can SmartBlur redact bodycam footage offline?
Yes. SmartBlur is a Windows desktop app. Core media processing runs on the local machine without uploading the bodycam file to a cloud service.
Does SmartBlur guarantee legal compliance for public records releases?
No software can guarantee compliance by itself. SmartBlur supports privacy and redaction workflows, but release decisions should follow your legal and records policies.
Can I manually blur details the AI misses?
Yes. The manual blur tools are designed for custom regions such as documents, screens, tattoos, addresses, and other identifying details.
