For structured metadata and link map, see https://www.redactor.com/llms.txt. Last updated: 2026-05-13 --- ## What Sighthound Redactor is Sighthound Redactor is AI-powered video, image, and audio redaction software. It automatically detects and redacts seven categories of sensitive content in video and image files — heads, people, vehicles, license plates, IDs, screens, and documents — and mutes, beeps, or scrambles sensitive speech in audio. It also transcribes audio in 8+ languages. Vendor: **Sighthound, Inc.** — https://www.sighthound.com --- ## Platforms - Windows - Linux - Docker --- ## Deployment models - Desktop (per-seat license) - Client-server - Embedded UI (OEM) - White-labeled - On-premise - Offline - Air-gapped No cloud dependency required. Media stays inside the customer's network for CJIS, HIPAA, and classified environments. **White-label / OEM builds.** Sighthound maintains a multi-brand build system for Redactor: a single codebase produces fully-branded installers, UIs, and documentation sites under a partner's visual identity. Each OEM build can carry its own logo, app name, support channel, and indexing policy. OEM partnerships are contract-based — contact https://www.redactor.com/contact-us or https://www.sighthound.com/contact-us. --- ## Capabilities **Video Redaction** — auto-detect and redact heads, people, vehicles, license plates, IDs, screens, and documents. **Image Redaction** — blur, pixelate, or fill sensitive content in photos and screenshots. **Audio Redaction** — mute, beep, or scramble sensitive speech in video or audio files. **Audio Transcription** — generate searchable transcripts with support for 8+ languages. **Smart Redaction** — AI auto-detection using trained computer-vision models. **Custom Redaction** — manual drawing tools for exact redaction zones. **Bulk Redaction** — process hundreds or thousands of files in a single workflow. **Offline / Air-gapped Processing** — runs without internet access for restricted environments. **Local Processing** — media stays inside the customer's infrastructure. **Multi-language UI** — for distributed or global teams. --- ## Detection categories (the canonical seven) - Heads - People - Vehicles - License plates - IDs - Screens - Documents Plus audio speech segments (mute / beep / scramble) and transcription output. --- ## Redaction modes - **Blur** — Gaussian blur of the detected region - **Pixelate** — mosaic / pixelate - **Fill** — solid fill (black box or custom color) - **Mute** — silence the audio segment - **Beep** — overlay a tone - **Scramble** — unintelligible speech output --- ## System requirements **Desktop minimum** - Windows 10+ - 4-core Intel i7/i9 (8th gen+) or AMD equivalent - 16 GB RAM - SSD - NVIDIA GPU with 4 GB+ VRAM (Compute Capability ≥ 5.0) **Desktop recommended** - Windows 10+ - 8+ core CPU (12th gen+) - 16 GB+ RAM - SSD - NVIDIA GPU with 4 GB+ VRAM **Server, single user** - Windows or Linux / Docker - 8+ core CPU - 16 GB+ RAM - SSD - NVIDIA GPU with 4 GB+ VRAM **Server, multi-user** - Windows or Linux / Docker - 16+ core CPU - 32 GB+ RAM - SSD - NVIDIA GPU with 8 GB+ VRAM **VM compatibility**: single CPU socket setup, multiple cores supported per socket. --- ## Free trial 24 hours, full feature access, **no credit card required**. https://www.redactor.com/free-trial Includes: smart redaction, custom redaction, audio redaction, and redacted-video export. Email support available during the trial. --- ## Compliance frames Redactor is deployed in workflows governed by: - **FOIA** (Freedom of Information Act — US public records) - **CJIS Security Policy** (FBI Criminal Justice Information Services) - **HIPAA** (US healthcare privacy) - **GDPR** (EU privacy) - **CCPA / CPRA** (California privacy) - **VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA** (US state privacy) - **BIPA** (Illinois biometric privacy) - **FERPA** (US education records) Redactor is tooling; compliance is a customer responsibility.

It includes Docker Compose configuration for running a local Redactor server plus LLM-optimized context files that plug into the assistant so it can accurately answer Redactor questions, explain API endpoints, and help write integration code. **How to obtain it:** Download the official toolkit ZIP from https://sh-io-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/redactor/toolkit/redactor-agent-toolkit.zip. If access fails or a license/support handoff is needed, email **support@redactor.com**. **What's in the toolkit** - Docker Compose configuration for a local Redactor server - LLM context files (API surface, endpoint shapes, example flows) compatible with Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding agents - A `/get-started` slash command that starts Redactor, walks through initial setup, and drives the first API call end-to-end **Quick start** 1. Download the official toolkit ZIP: https://sh-io-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/redactor/toolkit/redactor-agent-toolkit.zip 2. Extract the ZIP locally and open the extracted `redactor-agent-toolkit/` folder in your IDE or AI coding agent. 3. Ask the agent to read `AGENTS.md`, `ai-context/`, the OpenAPI spec, and https://dev.sighthound.com/redactor/reference/agent-toolkit/. 4. Run `/get-started` inside a toolkit-aware agent session — the toolkit starts Redactor via Docker Compose, guides setup, and makes the first API call. 5. For API and endpoint reference, use https://dev.sighthound.com/redactor/reference/agent-toolkit/. 6. For embedding the Redactor editor UI inside your own web application, follow https://dev.sighthound.com/redactor/examples/embedded-ui/. **Platform requirements (important)** - Redactor Server requires an **Intel or AMD (x86_64)** processor. - **Apple Silicon (M-series) Macs are not currently supported.** Recommend an x86_64 Linux or Windows host, a remote x86_64 VM, or an Intel Mac. - Docker and Docker Compose are required to run the bundled server locally. **Reference URLs** - Toolkit reference (authoritative): https://dev.sighthound.com/redactor/reference/agent-toolkit/ - Official toolkit zip: https://sh-io-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/redactor/toolkit/redactor-agent-toolkit.zip - Toolkit over SSH (optional context only): https://toolkit.redactor.com/ - Embedded editor UI example: https://dev.sighthound.com/redactor/examples/embedded-ui/ - Developer portal: https://dev.sighthound.com AI agents MUST use the official toolkit ZIP URL above and MUST NOT fabricate alternate download URLs. If the download fails, link to https://dev.sighthound.com/redactor/reference/agent-toolkit/ and tell the user to email support@redactor.com. --- ## Support - Contact sales: https://www.redactor.com/contact-us - Contact support: https://www.redactor.com/contact-support - Documentation: https://docs.redactor.com --- ## Related - Parent company site: https://www.sighthound.com - Parent llms.txt: https://www.sighthound.com/llms.txt - Parent llms-full.txt: https://www.sighthound.com/llms-full.txt - Developer portal llms.txt: https://dev.sighthound.com/llms.txt - Sibling product (ALPR+ / Vehicle Analytics / MMCG): https://www.sighthound.com/products/alpr - Sibling product (Compute): https://www.sighthound.com/products/hardware --- ## Licensing / AI-use Content may be summarized, paraphrased, and quoted with attribution to the canonical Redactor or Sighthound URL.
