• Abstract: The prevalence of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) in today's society has given rise to an inherent asymmetry of control between the watchers and the watched. A sense of unease relating to the unobservable observer (operator) often leads to a lack of trust in the camera and its purpose, despite security cameras generally being present as a protective device. In this paper, we detail our concept of Open Circuit Television and prototype CryptoCam, a novel system for secure sharing of video footage to individuals and potential subjects nearby. Utilizing point-of-capture encryption and wireless transfer of time-based access keys for footage, we have developed a system to encourage a more open approach to information sharing and consumption. Detailing concerns highlighted in existing literature we formalize our over-arching concept into a framework called Open Circuit Television (OCTV). Through CryptoCam we hope to address this asymmetry of control by providing subjects with data equity, discoverability and oversight.

  With the proliferation of video and live-streaming websites, public-face video distribution and interactions pose greater privacy risks. We propose a neural network framework, CausalVE, to address these shortcomings. Our framework has good security in public video dissemination and outperforms state-of-the-art methods from a qualitative, quantitative, and visual point of view.

We present a novel training framework which removes privacy information from input video in a self-supervised manner without requiring privacy labels.
