Abstract
A camera auxiliary device for privacy protection and a privacy protection method using the camera auxiliary device. The camera auxiliary device for privacy protection includes a processor for splitting an input light beam that is reflected from a capturing target into a first input beam for detecting a privacy protection area and a second input beam to be transferred to a camera connected to a user terminal, detecting a privacy protection area in an image signal generated based on the first input beam, and converting the second input beam and then transferring a converted second input beam to the camera so that personal information included in the privacy protection area is not visually identified, and a memory for storing the image signal and the privacy protection area.
