Abstract

Systems and methods for audio privacy in network video surveillance systems are described. A video camera may include an image sensor and a microphone to generate a video stream. Responsive to detecting a human speaking condition in the video stream, the audio data may be selectively modified to mask a human voice component of the audio data for storing and/or displaying the surveillance video stream.
