Intelion Video Lab enhances evidence video by reducing noise and compression artifacts, correcting blur and increasing resolution from information already present in the recording. It cannot recover a plate or face detail that was never captured, and it does not identify people. Operators select a video segment and region of interest such as a plate, face or object; enhanced results appear beside source frames for verification. Processing uses working copies, leaves originals byte-for-byte intact and logs operations. The standalone desktop edition is pre-installed on a dedicated laptop, processes footage locally without internet and produces documented, traceable stills and clips. The module edition can process low-quality video in the Intelion analyzer chain, route output to ALPR, Face Biometry, VMMR or OCR, and use BPM rules to schedule enhancement. It can run on-premise or in a secure hybrid cloud. Pricing for both module and standalone plans is on request.
