Abstract
A device and a method mask an object in a video stream. The camera is arranged in a system including the camera and another device. A location and field of view is known for the device and the camera. Furthermore, the field of view of the device and the camera are non-overlapping. Information indicating that an object is approaching the field of view of the camera is obtained. The obtained information is determined from the device indicating a location and a direction of movement of the object and the known locations and fields of view of the camera and the device. In response to the information, a threshold for detecting objects to be masked in the video stream captured by the camera is reduced. An object to be masked in the video stream is detected using the reduced threshold, and masking of the object in the video stream is inserted.
