This new feature has been developed specifically for law enforcement and prison applications, but can be deployed in many public CCTV projects. The Privacy Zones feature is implemented in Control Center, IndigoVision’s enterprise video and alarm management software, which allows viewing of live and recorded video from any camera on the network and is at the heart of the company’s integrated end-to-end IP Video solution.

The feature blocks out areas of video to avoid viewing data/images that are irrelevant or intrusive. Many CCTV applications demand the use of privacy zones which ensure during normal viewing that certain areas of a scene can be blocked out to protect individuals’ personal privacy. However, authorized personnel may sometimes need to view the whole scene, including these hidden areas, and record the scene for evidential purposes. A typical application would be to protect toilet areas in prison cells from being viewed by general security staff to give occupants a level of privacy.
