IVA Pro Privacy

Gain actionable insights without compromising privacy

IVA Pro Privacy uses a semi-transparent privacy mask for moving objects, faces, individuals, or vehicles to ensure anonymization while still getting insights about them in the area. Users have the option to mask the camera image fully or partially while other IVA Pro software licenses obtain anonymized metadata, counting statistics, and alarm events. Another option is to dynamically mask all objects detected by other IVA Pro software, ensuring object anonymity while giving the operator an unhindered view of the rest of the scene.

The software can be used with any IVA Pro software that detects and tracks objects including IVA Pro Buildings, IVA Pro Perimeter, IVA Pro Traffic, IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection, IVA Pro PPE, or IVA Pro Appearance. It cannot be used with IVA Pro LPR, IVA Pro Vehicle Make Model, or IVA Pro Dangerous Goods Signs.

 

Enhance security while protecting privacy

Privacy masking ensures that personally identifiable information, such as faces, car license plates, and private homes, remain hidden from surveillance footage, maintaining individual privacy while still allowing general security monitoring.

Support regulatory compliance needs

Masking sensitive information like faces, license plates, and private property may help reduce concerns about data misuse, potential fines or legal repercussions, ensuring peace of mind.

Customize masking for various settings

Static masking allows customization based on location or surveillance needs such as a full mask for private property or a partial mask for windows. Dynamic masking automatically adjusts based on movement or predefined rules to protect privacy while still capturing essential security events.
