# Anonymize CCTV, dashcam & drone video (blur faces & plates)

**Use case:** 

Blur every face and license plate in videos from security cameras, dashcams, bodycams and drones, frame by frame. Output is an H.264 MP4 that plays everywhere, with the original audio and without device metadata. Built for footage shared with insurers, police, clients or AI teams under GDPR/LGPD. Replace the example video URL with yours and run. $0.25 per video minute.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/adorable_partial/image-anonymizer.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
