I have also seen privacy masks being able to be created on video exported from VMS, to ensure privacy of video evidence. You can create zones and enter what time period the polygon is displayed for.
Great examples and descriptions. Standard privacy masking is such as standard feature, but it is all to often forgotten about....

I don't see how or where does GDPR require masking. Cameras should be pointed in spaces which doesn't breach personal privacy laws. If you have a video with masked faces, whats the point (as a customer looking to install CCTV)? Whenever something happen, you cannot use it as a proof.

As an integrator who works in multiple hospital settings I use PM for patient areas where HIPPA laws dictate that we do not record any video. It is a useful feature especially when we want ajacent activity. I certainly like the pixelated or blurred feature, but have not seen that on the cameras I install.

The PTZ camera masking looks interesting. May I know it is a camera based in-build feature or a software based solution? And who is offering that?
