Faces Blurred on the Box: What Actually Leaves Your Site
The first question every IT team asks is what leaves the network. The honest answer is short: events, and one blurred still per event.
What stays on site
- Your video. The recorder keeps recording exactly as before. COM8 Vision reads it with a read-only account and never writes back.
- The unblurred frames. The edge box works on the live sub-streams and blurs faces before any image leaves it.

Evidence
One still, faces blurred
Blurred on the box
Structured fields plus one blurred still. Never a video stream.
The live view
The dashboard can show a live view of each camera. Those frames are blurred on the box first and travel over an outbound connection, so your network needs no port forwarding and no inbound access.
What we will not build
No face recognition, no tracking of named individuals and no per-worker score. Accountability sits with zones, shifts, supervisors and subcontractors, which is where a safety conversation belongs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Blur follows the person detector, so a person the detector misses is not blurred. It is a strong default, and the dashboard never receives video.

Nothing inbound. The edge box needs one switch port and makes outbound connections only.
