Genetec Enhances Digital Evidence Management with AI-Powered Scene Redaction in Clearance™
Nextro is proud to highlight the latest innovation from our strategic partner Genetec Inc., a leading technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions. Genetec has announced a major enhancement to its digital evidence management system, Genetec Clearance™, with the addition of Scene Redaction, an AI-powered capability that significantly accelerates the process of preparing video evidence for sharing.
A Major Step Forward for Video Redaction
Traditional manual redaction is often slow and labour-intensive, especially when dealing with large volumes of footage involving multiple individuals and moving elements. With Scene Redaction, Genetec Clearance leverages advanced AI and machine learning to identify people in a scene and automatically apply blurring, dramatically reducing the time and effort required by investigators and privacy officers.
“Redacting video evidence to protect privacy is both a legal obligation and a practical challenge for organisations around the world. Scene Redaction allows users to do this with unprecedented speed and consistency,” said Samir Sinha, Product Group Director at Genetec Inc.
Built for Public and Private Sector Needs
Genetec Clearance is already trusted by public safety agencies, police, retailers, and private enterprises across New Zealand and internationally. This new redaction capability is particularly relevant for local government, education providers, security firms, and other organisations subject to Privacy Act 2020 obligations in New Zealand.
As privacy regulations become more stringent and public scrutiny of video surveillance increases, the need for reliable and efficient redaction tools is more critical than ever. Scene Redaction ensures compliance without slowing down operations.
Seamless Integration with Existing Workflows
Clearance users can access Scene Redaction directly within the platform’s intuitive interface. It complements the system’s existing redaction tools, which allow for manual redaction or blurring based on facial recognition, and works across footage from various sources, including body-worn cameras, fixed surveillance, and mobile devices.
At Nextro, we see this as a game-changing advancement for businesses across New Zealand. Whether you’re managing critical infrastructure, safeguarding schools, or coordinating a public safety response, this update to Genetec Clearance delivers powerful tools to ensure evidence integrity and individual privacy, fast.
