Hi all
after a problem with the power the owners of the building did not allow me to put TrackCam back into operation. This was back in June 29th.
Today we had a meeting to discuss how to bring this cam back into operation.
I was requested to comply with the swiss privacy policy requlations.
Federal Regulations for WebCams (in german, also available in french and italian. Here's the
google translation)
In short: either the camera must not show persons in a recognizable clarity (no zoom, no panning to where people are), or there must be some privacy filter (eg pixelate people) to prevent recognition of persons.
Was it possible to recognize people?
Does anybody know software to pixelate people in jpeg images using linux?
The motion jpeg stream came right off the camera. To support any kind of privacy filter, this would have to change to add the filter -> required CPU power, might limit number of people visiting the camera.
Seeing this requirements, I am not sure if I'll not only invest money to improve the wiring but also manpower and money to decrease the quality of the images...
What do you think?
