Dynamic Privacy Masking

Where Precision Meets Privacy

Dynamic Privacy Masking (DPM) offers advanced privacy protection by intelligently applying
a colored or mosaic overlay to moving objects like people and vehicles in real time.

This ensures privacy during live viewing while maintaining the integrity of the original, unmasked video.

Balancing Visibility and Privacy

Surveillance often involves personal data — faces, license plates, identities. Static masks can’t follow motion, and manual setup increases risk of error or exposure. As privacy regulations grow stricter, operators need a way to protect individuals and still
preserve essential evidence when incidents occur.

Privacy Protection That Tracks You

Hanwha Vision’s AI-based Dynamic Privacy Masking detects and tracks sensitive subjects across every camera movement — automatically applying and adjusting masks in real time. It ensures precise coverage frame by frame, maintaining privacy compliance while keeping nonsensitive areas clear and visible. When incidents occur, original footage remains securely available to authorized personnel for forensic review.

Automatic real-time masking

AI identifies and conceals sensitive information instantly and accurately

Dual-stream privacy management

Records both masked and original video securely, accessible only with proper authorization

Regulatory compliance

Stay compliant with privacy laws without losing access to critical forensic evidence

Traditional privacy masking depends on fixed zones that can’t adapt to dynamic scenes.
Hanwha Vision’s AI-based Dynamic Privacy Masking goes further. It continuously detects and tracks moving objects, applying masks automatically as both the camera and subjects move.

For investigative or forensic review, the original footage can still be securely accessed by authorized personnel, maintaining full transparency while safeguarding data during live monitoring.

Users can choose between two masking modes:

  • Mosaic mode for pixelated privacy overlays
  • Color opaque mode for solid, colored masking

Each mode can be easily customized in size and color to match operational needs or regulatory requirements. This flexibility allows operators to balance visibility and privacy with precision — ensuring consistent, real-time protection across every scene.
