Le domaine technique de ['invention est celui de la videosurveillance. 11 est connu d'equiper des batiments de plusieurs cameras d'observation de zones a surveiller, en particulier des zones d'acces (d'entree eVou sortie) au batiment; les signaux delivres par chaque camera vent generalement transmis a un dispositif de visualisation des images acquises par ces cameras, qui peut comporter un moniteur de television; la transmission des signaux peut etre obtenue par des fils ou cables The technical field of the invention is that of video surveillance. It is known to equip buildings with several observation cameras of areas to be monitored, in particular areas of access (entry eVou exit) to the building; the signals delivered by each camera generally transmitted to a display device of the images acquired by these cameras, which may include a television monitor; the signal transmission can be obtained by wires or cables

Lorsque des cameras de videosurveillance observent pour partie un lieu public et pour partie un lieu prive, il est parfois necessaire de masquer une partie de chaque image delivree par cette camera, afin de respecter le droit a une vie privee des etres humains. La presence de cameras de surveillance sur des lieux publics ou prives est difficile a cacher; de ce fait, ces cameras font parfois ['objet d'actes de vandalisme; afin de diminuer les couts de reparation resultant de tels actes, certaines installations de videosurveillance vent equipees d'une part de veritables cameras effectivement reliees a un posse de visualisation et de controle, et d'autre part de leurres imitant ['aspect d'une camera sans en posseder les fonctionnalites; la presence de tels leu rres est supposee dim in uer les actes d'incivilite de la part d'individus croyant - a tort - se trouver dans le champ d'observation d'une veritable camera de surveillance; I'interet de tels leurres diminue au cours du temps, etant donne que d'une part la curiosite et les capacites d'apprentissage de certains etre humains leur permet de When video surveillance cameras partly observe a public place and partly a private place, it is sometimes necessary to mask part of each image delivered by this camera, in order to respect the right to a private life of human beings. The presence of surveillance cameras in public or private places is difficult to hide; as a result, these cameras are sometimes subject to vandalism; in order to reduce the cost of repair resulting from such acts, some CCTV installations are equipped on the one hand with real cameras actually connected to a display and control position, and on the other hand with lures imitating the appearance of a camera without having the features; the presence of such viruses is supposed to reduce acts of incivility on the part of individuals who believe - wrongly - to be in the field of observation of a real surveillance camera; The interest of such decoys diminishes over time, since on the one hand the curiosity and learning abilities of certain human beings
