Safeguards privacy
AXIS Live Privacy Shield offers AI-based dynamic masking allowing you to monitor activities while addressing rules and regulations protecting privacy and personal data. It’s possible to blur humans and license plates, and you can blur backgrounds to protect sensitive areas of the scene. It’s suitable for use indoors and outdoors in places like manufacturing facilities, hospitals, elderly care homes, hotels, schools, offices, and stores. This versatile application works in real-time on both live and recorded video streams and delivers streams that mask personal data.

Cost-effective solution

Great flexibility
With AI-based dynamic masking you can choose what to mask. For instance, it’s possible to mask entire human bodies or just faces, license plates, a mixture of these, or you can mask the background. With different levels of masking available, you can choose the right level based on your specific needs. And you decide how much detail is visible through the masking. It’s also possible to set up masking exclusion areas. Plus, you can view streams without masking—ideal whenever an incident occurs.
