Mainstream public video-surveillance systems are not generally designed to provide accommodations for under-privileged and under-represented subjects [1,2]. These subjects comprise of physically-challenged individuals, visually-impaired people and senior-citizens. With the recent emergence of the GDPR act [3,4], all surveillance data subjects, including these under-served populations, need to be offered an opportunity to provide consent, according to the Opt-in and Opt-out rule, regarding being recorded on closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) and other security cameras. Research advances in privacy-enhancing innovations [5,6], and privacy-mediating features [6,7] have helped visualsurveillance systems evolve towards offering more subject-centric privacy consenting options. However, these present state-of-theart technologies do not account for the underserved people. In order to be more inclusive in its privacy-mediating design, a video surveillance system needs to address the difficulties posed by technologies to the under-served subjects. In this article, we discuss this potential gap in research work, and explore the need of designing more inclusive privacy consenting functionalities within video-surveillance systems.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
