Post Privacy Masking protects privacy in live video surveillance
- Development of Funkwerk protects the privacy in video transmission
- Combination of protecting the public and requirements of data protection
- First positive experiences by security forces
Kölleda/Fürth, April 28, 2011. It's the typical dilemma: video surveillance
systems are there to help solve or - in the best case scenario - even
prevent crime. But they must not violate people's privacy. Data protection
regulations therefore are quite stringent in the public sphere, and rightly
so. Combining both aspects proves difficult in practice and is often
impossible. This is where a revolutionary new development from Funkwerk
comes in: it combines protection of the general public with protection of
privacy. Based on initial experiences, security forces were much impressed
with Funkwerk's
innovative solution.
The system PRIMA-S and the software application PRIMA-P from Funkwerk make
it possible to mask private zones in live video images. Private properties
and places can be hidden or deliberately pixelated. The innovative aspect:
post-privacy masking. The masks are user-dependent and can, where
necessary, be concealed after the image is taken, making it easer, for
example, to investigate crimes. PRIMA-S has been dvised by Funkwerk for
analogue video systems. It allows easy, yet effective upgrading of video
systems which previously failed to meet the data protection regulations and
avoids otherwise necessary deinstallation, while maintaining earlier
investments.
PRIMA currently unrivalled
The software application PRIMA-P is a module used to upgrade the functions
of aready existing video management systems. Post privacy masking at a user
dependent level is made possible only by separately recording and replaying
digital video data and masking information controlled by PRIMA-P. Both
systems, PRIMA-P and PRIMA-S, can mask video images from static and dynamic
cameras depending on the zoom factor. Users can generate up to 1,000
masking polygons per channel and scenario. Objects are reliably concealed
irrespective of fast camera movements.
The PRIMA technology from Funkwerk is already used successfully in a city
in Nortern Germany, where pan/tilt cameras monitor the municipal area,
crossroads and particular hot spots. Funkwerk is breaking with an
innovative business solution here with PRIMA, which includes on the basis
of competitive advantage is great potential to authorities and security
forces
