Abstract

Today, there are millions of surveillance cameras (CCTV) monitoring and recording day to day activities of people in the sake of safety and security of general public. However, like double-edged sword, there are both pros and cons when using such technology to protect people. Some of the advantages like detecting abnormal behaviors, identifying theft attempts of evidence for crime scene, etc., are overrun by the abilities of abusing the same technology in several ways due to the miniaturization and lack of limits or controls on their use. Especially miniaturization with latest technological development has enabled setting and hiding those cameras beyond the imaginations. Therefore in this paper we proposed a method to protect people from monitoring and recording their behaviors without consent and control illegal usage while enabling a method to distinguish legal cameras from fake.
