Senstar, globally renowned provider of video management and perimeter intrusion detection solutions, is pleased to announce the release of Senstar Thin Client 3.9. When paired with Senstar Symphony Video Management Software (VMS), the Thin Client now features dynamic privacy masking, which allows it to obscure the identifying features of individuals or vehicles that may appear within a camera’s field of view.

Unlike the more common static masking which is configuration-driven and can be used to obfuscate specific areas within a camera’s field of view (e.g. public sidewalk or private residence), dynamic masking is analytic-driven and applies pixelization to the distinguishing characteristics of moving objects that traverse the scene.

Dynamic masking

Dynamic masking can assist organizations in meeting increasing personal data privacy regulations such as those set out by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act. 

We are pleased to extend our industry-leading feature set to address data privacy regulations being passed in a number of jurisdictions,” said Senior Product Manager for Senstar, Kevin Thomson. “With dynamic masking, action within a scene is preserved and the masked stream may be safely viewed in real-time, while evidentiary details are stored and accessible only to authorized users.
