Stephen Russel of 3VR Security has a very nice blog on issues around smart cameras. In a recent article shows off some technology 3VR is working on. Its a way to provide some privacy. Here is part of post:
The image on the left is from the original video feed. The second image is from a scrambled and encrypted version of that same feed.
Though with the encrypted feed it’s possible to detect loitering, fighting, and many other behaviors of concern, identity information is totally protected…that is, until an authorized user chooses to decrypt the feed. BUT then that action is controlled and logged, and an alert can even be generated, to ensure that the surveillance system is not being abused or misused.
