IDIS launches IDIS Smart Privacy Masks. This patented, real-time privacy masking solution protects individuals’ identities while enabling more accurate, reliable, and responsive real-time video surveillance operations.
IDIS Smart Privacy Masks overcome the limitations of traditional masking techniques, which often fail to detect individuals accurately and apply masking or zone settings that indiscriminately blur entire areas—making it difficult to distinguish people from objects. Common issues like latency can also cause privacy breaches or excessive masking. Together, these challenges compromise surveillance performance, making it difficult to strike the right balance between privacy and visual clarity, and ultimately hindering effective monitoring and investigations.
IDIS has addressed these challenges with a solution that preserves high video resolution and frame rates, even in dynamic, high-traffic environments and when processing high-resolution streams.
Powered by the patented IDIS Deep Learning Engine and developed and trained in-house, this technology intelligently adjusts mosaic strength to ensure optimal clarity and visibility while safeguarding privacy. The result is finely tuned masking that makes it easier to observe actions and movements in real time, without compromising individual anonymity.
IDIS Smart Privacy Masks combine the advantages of object detection and heatmaps with deep learning and enterprise-level IDIS Solutions Suite (ISS) VMS processing to increase accuracy significantly.
IDIS Smart Privacy Masking takes place on board ISS, it is exceptionally resource-efficient. It ensures stable, high-resolution video transmission to retain usable footage and forensic evidence while protecting privacy. In addition, as a module within IDIS Solution Suite, IDIS Smart Privacy Masks adds further to the feature-rich array of tools. The latest innovation adds value to IDIS’s comprehensive video lineup, encompassing a high-performance and robust range of cameras and network recorders, advanced AI-powered analytics options, and network accessories. With the assurance of Korean-made reliability, IDIS offers end-to-end solutions that include everything needed for surveillance applications for businesses, large or small, as well as solutions that come with instant plug-and-play functionality of all devices and software backed by industry-leading warranties.
Dr. JunHyeok Heo, Head of Solution Development at IDIS, said that IDIS Smart Privacy Masks would give security and safety managers more options for real-time monitoring in additional applications without worrying about breaching existing and new regulatory compliance or compromising security.
“As AI video technology becomes ever more accurate, IDIS is focusing on perfecting capabilities where users want to see the highest standards of reliability and performance,” JunHyeok Heo added, “With IDIS Smart Privacy Masks we have done exactly this, combining powerful deep learning with our enterprise-class IDIS Solution Suite VMS to achieve optimum results.”
