Abstract
An apparatus includes a video capture device, an audio capture device and a processor. The video capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames. The audio capture device may be configured to capture audio. The processor may be configured to perform video operations to detect objects in the video frames, extract data about the objects based on characteristics of the objects determined using the video operations, detect whether an event has occurred based on the characteristics of the objects, determine a permission status based on the captured audio and generate a video stream based on the video frames. The video stream may be generated only if the permission status allows the video stream. The captured audio may be monitored after the event has been detected to determine whether the permission status allows the video stream.
