Real-Time Moderation for Live Streaming Content
Live video content moves fast – and so do we. Detector24's moderation platform can monitor live streams in real time, detecting and flagging inappropriate scenes as they happen. When violations are detected during live streams, immediate action is often required to ensure platform safety and compliance. Whether it's a gaming stream, a live event, or a spontaneous user broadcast, our AI watches every frame for nudity, violence, weapons, and other policy violations.
Detector24's system is designed for flagging videos and flagging inappropriate content in real time, using automated systems and human oversight to prevent harmful material from reaching viewers. The instant our system detects a problem, you can choose to automatically blur it, issue a warning, or remove the stream, preventing harmful content from ever reaching your audience. Real-time moderation is particularly challenging because it requires immediate analysis of live content as it is being broadcast. By moderating live video streams in real time, Detector24 helps you safeguard viewers and protect your brand's reputation at the very moment content is broadcast.
Safer User-to-User Video Broadcasting
If your platform allows users to broadcast video to each other – from one-to-one video chats to large social streams – you need a solution that scales with your user base. Moderating user-generated content is particularly challenging due to its dynamic and unpredictable nature. Detector24's video moderation ensures that user-to-user broadcasts stay safe and within guidelines. Our API acts as an always-on virtual moderator, scanning user videos for any form of abuse or banned material. This means you can confidently let your users connect via video while knowing Detector24 is automatically filtering out nudity, graphic violence, illicit drug use, and more. Detector24 helps protect users and keep your platform safe from abuse, ensuring trust and safety for your entire community. By catching TOS violations in user broadcasts, Detector24 protects your community from harmful interactions and maintains a positive environment for all participants.

On-Demand Video and Media Content Filtering
Not all content is live – many platforms host a variety of media types, including recorded videos, media libraries, and user-uploaded clips that need review. Detector24 makes on-demand video moderation seamless and efficient. Using our API, you can automatically scan any uploaded video file for inappropriate content before it's published or recommended to others.
The moderation process in Detector24 is systematic and multi-layered, supporting both automated and human review to ensure compliance with safety standards. Detector24's API supports both pre-upload and post-upload moderation, allowing you to review content after publication, often in response to user reports. Detector24's AI will analyze the video and return detailed tags and confidence scores for issues like adult content, extreme violence, hate speech, or child safety concerns.
Establishing clear content guidelines is essential to help both AI and human moderators make consistent enforcement decisions. This allows you to apply proper age ratings or content warnings to videos, restrict or age-gate violent or explicit material, and ensure that nothing on your platform violates community standards. By filtering media content proactively, you demonstrate responsibility to your users and advertisers, all while avoiding the cost and delay of manual reviews. With Detector24, applying age limits or content flags to videos (e.g. violent, hateful, or sexual content) is as simple as an automated API call.

Fully Automated, AI-Powered Video Moderation
Detector24 provides a truly automated video moderation solution – one that is fast, accurate, easy to integrate, and privacy-first. Our platform leverages cutting-edge computer vision and deep learning to replace or augment human moderators, so your team can focus on growth instead of grappling with endless video reviews. As part of the moderation process, AI content moderation tools automatically review videos by scanning frames, tags, audio, and metadata to detect policy violations and ensure compliance with platform guidelines. Here's what sets Detector24 apart:
Fast and Scalable
The Detector24 API analyzes videos faster than any human. On live streams, moderation checks occur instantaneously in real time, with minimal latency. The system easily scales from a handful of videos to millions of video uploads per month, and can handle thousands of concurrent streams without a hitch.
In fact, Detector24's infrastructure is already performing millions of content moderation checks per week for platforms worldwide, so you can trust it to keep up as your user base grows. Effective video moderation workflows combine AI efficiency with human review for best results.
Highly Accurate
Detector24 delivers consistent, 97–99% accuracy in identifying unwelcome content. Our models have been trained on vast datasets to recognize everything from obvious pornography to subtle hate insignia. This high precision means fewer false positives and false negatives, so genuine content isn't mistakenly taken down while harmful content never slips through.
Every moderation decision is auditable and traceable, and Detector24 continuously improves its AI with feedback loops and new data – ensuring accuracy only gets better over time. Human review and human judgment are essential for nuanced cases and to ensure compliance with community standards, especially where AI moderation may struggle with context or nuance. Human moderators also provide valuable feedback to improve AI moderation systems over time. While AI moderation is efficient, it often struggles with understanding context, sarcasm, and nuanced content, making human oversight essential. Investing in regularly updating AI models is crucial to adapt to evolving content trends and moderation challenges.
Easy Integration
We know developer experience matters. Detector24's API is built by developers, for developers – integration is quick and painless. With just a few lines of code, you can bring advanced video content moderation into your app or website. We provide simple SDKs, clear documentation, and examples for all major languages and platforms.
Whether you're moderating live streams or batch-processing archived videos, our API endpoints and webhooks make the workflow straightforward. You don't need to be a machine learning expert to use Detector24 – we've handled the hard parts so you can plug it in and go.
Privacy Compliant
User privacy is a core principle of Detector24's design. No human moderators ever view your videos in our standard workflow – all moderation is handled by AI. The video frames analyzed never get exposed publicly or shared with any third party.
This fully automated approach not only speeds up results but also keeps your users' content confidential, helping you comply with privacy regulations. With Detector24, you get the content safety benefits of AI moderation without sacrificing user privacy or data security.
By combining these advantages, Detector24 offers a video moderation solution that protects your business and grows with it. You get peace of mind that every video on your platform is reviewed at machine speed, with consistent accuracy and full auditability.
Comprehensive Video Moderation Categories Covered
Every platform has its own content challenges – Detector24 covers them all. Moderating video content is more complex than moderating images or text due to its multi-layered nature, requiring advanced tools and cross-modal analysis. You can choose exactly which content categories to moderate in your videos, or even work with us to develop custom models for niche needs. Our out-of-the-box moderation models can moderate content across a broad spectrum of formats and risks, ensuring 360° protection for your video content. Below are the key moderation categories Detector24 can detect and filter:
Standard Moderation
Nudity & Adult Content
Detects explicit nudity, pornography, sexual activities, and even mildly suggestive content. The video moderation process involves systematically evaluating flagged material, recognizing varying degrees of adult content – from graphic sexual acts to semi-nudity – so you can differentiate between outright bans and age-restricted material as needed.
Violence
Flags scenes of physical violence, fighting, torture, or abuse. The process identifies whether it's real-world violence or violent animation, with our model recognizing aggressive acts and threats.
Weapons
Identifies firearms, knives, explosives, and other weapons in video scenes. The moderation process ensures Detector24 will catch visuals of guns or other deadly weapons, as well as context suggesting their use.
Hate Symbols & Offensive Gestures
Detects hateful or extremist symbols (e.g. Nazi flags, supremacist logos) and offensive hand gestures. This process ensures content promoting hate or intolerance is flagged.
Gore & Disturbing Content
Flags graphic content such as excessive blood, dismemberment, corpses, or other extremely disgusting scenes. By detecting gore through a structured moderation process.
Self-Harm
Recognizes content depicting self-harm or suicide, such as cutting, suicide attempts, or encouragement of these acts.
Restricted Content
Drugs & Illegal Substances
Detects visuals of drug use and paraphernalia – from pills and syringes to cannabis plants, joints, or illicit substances like heroin. If someone is displaying or consuming recreational or illegal drugs on video, Detector24 will flag it so you can respond according to your policies, local regulations, and legal requirements.
Alcohol & Tobacco
Identifies the presence of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor bottles) and tobacco products (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars).
Gambling
Recognizes scenes of gambling and casino imagery – slot machines, poker games, betting activities, or casino settings.
Money & Financial Symbols
Flags images of money, banknotes, or large stacks of cash often associated with scams or illicit behavior.
Sensitive Topics
Destruction & Fire
Detects scenes depicting significant destruction, fires, explosions, or damage to property. The ability to moderate video content in these cases is crucial for ensuring responsible and compliant video management, as such material may be harmful or inappropriate for some audiences.
Military & Warfare
Identifies military scenes including soldiers, combat, firearms discharge, tanks, or war equipment. Content featuring armed conflicts or military operations can be recognized and handled according to your platform's guidelines.
Face and People Analytics
Face Presence & Analysis
Detects human faces in videos and analyzes attributes like face clarity, pose, and obstructions. This can be used to ensure video content doesn't contain hidden or obscured individuals or to enforce policies like "no faces allowed" in certain contexts. Detector24 can also determine if faces are wearing sunglasses, masks, or have other qualities that might be relevant to your moderation or verification processes.
Minor Detection (Age Recognition)
Estimates the age group of individuals appearing in videos and flags any instances where children are present in potentially inappropriate contexts.
People Counting
Counts distinct people visible in the video. If your platform has rules about the number of participants (for example, video chats that should only involve two people, or gatherings that might indicate unauthorized events), this feature provides a headcount.
Text, Codes, and Embedded Content
Text & Profanity Detection (OCR)
Reads any text that appears within the video frames (signs, on-screen captions, user captions) and flags profanity, slurs, or personal information. This includes catching abusive language in subtitles or text on t-shirts, as well as extracting phone numbers, emails, or addresses that users might expose on camera.
Embedded Links & QR Codes
Detects QR codes or visible URLs in video frames, which could be attempts to share disallowed links or direct users to harmful sites. If a user tries to display a QR code on a live stream (for phishing or promotion), Detector24 will catch it so you can take action.
AI-Generated & Manipulated Media
AI-Generated Video Detection
Determines if a video or segments of it were generated by AI (such as entirely synthetic scenes or AI-created avatars). With the explosion of AI-generated media, this feature helps you identify content that wasn't actually filmed in the real world.
Deepfake Detection
Identifies deepfake videos where a person's face or voice has been swapped or digitally altered using AI. Detector24 uses advanced deep learning techniques to spot subtle artifacts and inconsistencies in faces or audio that betray a deepfake.
Near-Duplicate Content
Detects when a video significantly duplicates content from another video in your database (even if resized, cropped, or slightly modified). This helps flag reposts of known problematic videos or spammy duplicate uploads.
Audio Analysis
Audio Profanity and Hate Speech
Listens to the spoken dialogue in videos and flags profanity, slurs, or hate speech in the audio track. Even if a video's visuals are clean, the words spoken can violate policies. Audio review is a critical part of the overall moderation process, ensuring that all aspects of a video's content are evaluated for compliance.
AI-Generated Music & Voice
Detects audio that has been synthetically generated by AI, such as computer-generated voices or AI-composed music.
Detector24's broad range of detection categories means you can configure the system to your exact needs. Whether you want to block only the most egregious content or apply nuanced rules (like allowing some violent game footage but not real gore), our platform has you covered. And if you have unique requirements, our team can train custom moderation models using your data – so you get a tailor-made solution for your community.

It supports all common image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, etc.), analyzing each picture in seconds. Keep your platform's photos clean and compliant without manual review – Detector24 will flag anything that violates your guidelines or might be unsafe for your audience.
Text & Chat Moderation
Detector24's capabilities extend to text-based content as well. Our text moderation tools analyze messages, comments, reviews, usernames, and posts for toxic or prohibited language. The system automatically filters out profanity, insults, hate speech, sexual solicitations, and harassment, ensuring conversations remain civil. It also can detect and block personal data (like phone numbers, emails) and spam or phishing links in text. This helps prevent users from sharing private information or being exposed to scams. By integrating text moderation alongside video and image checks, Detector24 provides full-spectrum protection for your community forums, chat rooms, and social feeds.
