Forensic Watermarking

Embed invisible, viewer-specific identifiers into every video playback session to trace leaks back to the source — even after screen recording, editing, or re-encoding. Protect premium content with accountability, not just access control.
Can’t see the difference That’s whole the point

Built-in Protection That Works Invisibly
Invisible identifiers are embedded automatically into every video stream during playback—so your content stays protected without altering how it looks or performs.
- Embed invisible identifiers such as account email, IP address, and playback context into each stream.
- Apply protection automatically during video playback.
- Preserve the same video quality and viewing experience for all audiences.
- Control forensic watermarking at the video level using admin settings.
Protection That Still Holds
- Identify the source even when content is screen-recorded
- Remains traceable after editing or cropping
- Works across compressed copies
- Survives format conversions and re-encoding
