License plates
License plates, spotted to the exact frame.
In vlogs, car reviews, or dashcam, dozens of plates pass across the screen. Yours can identify you; other people's can get you a takedown request.

Where it appears most often
- Your car parked in front of your home
- Vehicles you pass in a vlog or dashcam
- Parking lots and car meets
- Reflections and rear-view mirrors
How ScanMyVid spots it
- Every readable plate is spotted, with the moment it enters and leaves the frame.
- Even on a multi-hour dashcam, every plate comes with its entry and exit timecode.
- The same plate visible for 40 seconds gives one alert, not 40.
Why it's risky
A plate links a video to a vehicle, and often to a home. In Europe, filming someone else's plate can also raise a personal data issue.
The tip before filming
On a dashcam, export the markers into your software: you blur clip by clip without re-watching the whole drive.
Publish with peace of mind.
