Low-Light Enhancement for Insurance & Claims

What low-light enhancement does for insurance & claims footage, when it helps, and how BetterVideo's API applies it to the real capture.

🔒 Footage deleted on your schedule — with a certificate to prove it

What insurance & claims work actually needs
  • Adjusters need to read damage detail — cracks, water lines, VINs — that poor footage hides.
  • Claimant footage is personal data; keeping it around indefinitely is a liability.
  • Volume is high and per-claim — you need it programmatic, not a desktop app.

Where low-light enhancement helps

Claim interiors — a flooded basement, a dim garage — are often too dark to read. Low-light enhancement brightens and rebalances contrast so damage is visible, no reshoot required. BetterVideo does this with a fixed-gain LAB contrast pass.

How BetterVideo does it

BetterVideo applies low-light enhancement through one REST call — a fixed-gain LAB contrast pass brightens and rebalances — and for insurance & claims, brightens and sharpens dark, shaky claim clips so an adjuster can read the damage — per second, per claim — then deletes them on your schedule.

Common questions

Can it make a dark claim clip usable?

Yes — brightening and contrast rebalancing reveal damage in underexposed footage.

Does brightening distort the scene?

It adjusts exposure and contrast of the real capture; it doesn't add content.
