Introduction

A new level of
data privacy compliance.

The leading Romanian AI software company in the security sector has just launched Metrici version 3.2 — making it even more GDPR compliant. This is the second upgrade of Metrici's new detection engines, which are built entirely on artificial neural networks, commonly known as Artificial Intelligence.

Beyond fixing and developing existing features, version 3.2 introduces a new capability that transforms how data is stored, helping end users achieve greater GDPR compliance. As always, this version comes with improved detection algorithms — as every software evolution is driven by training with additional data to improve performance.

The launch was timed to coincide with International Data Privacy Day on January 28th.

Context

What is GDPR?
The regulation behind the feature.

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation — the legislation approved by the EU Parliament that came into effect in May 2018.

The main goal of this law is the protection of the freedoms and rights of all individuals located in the territory of the European Union, regardless of their citizenship.

In fact, after GDPR rules were approved at the European level, Metrici was asked to find a way to hide or blur the images saved to the database, making it impossible to identify individuals or other personal details in the photos. This request came from both Romanian and international clients.

      In EU terminology, "personal data" refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable person.
    

The Feature

Obfuscate images.
Keep all the data. Protect the privacy.

With this new feature, all the functionality and advantages of Metrici Interface and detection engines remain fully in place. The only change is how images are saved when an event occurs — regardless of which detection engine is in use.

For every camera at a location, you can choose to blur the images — whether we are talking about License Plate Recognition, Parking Place Detector, Container Code Recognition, or any other Metrici engine, whether already launched or yet to come. All events recorded by that camera and its dedicated engine remain the same as always (date, time, direction, statistics, etc.) — but the images are saved in pixelated form instead of clear.

Each camera at a location must be manually configured to blur images when desired by the user.

Obfuscate Image · How It Works

Enable the option per camera in Metrici Interface

All future images from that camera are saved pixelated

Event data (date, time, direction, statistics) unchanged

Option does not apply retroactively to past events

Can be disabled at any time to resume clear image saving

Applies to companion cameras when LPR obfuscation is enabled

Details

Full control, full flexibility.
Per-camera, per-engine, per-location.

Once this option is enabled, all subsequent images will be saved in this manner. However, this option does not apply retroactively to past events — only future events will be affected.

Users can disable the feature at any time to resume saving clear images. Previously altered images will remain pixelated — only future events will be captured in full clarity.

It's worth noting that if the "Obfuscate Image" option is enabled for LPR and the camera has an attached companion camera, images from the companion camera will also be blurred.

Availability

Available to everyone.
Companies, individuals, institutions.

The General Data Protection Regulation has fundamentally changed how companies handle data. Most importantly, it grants new powers to data subjects and end users to protect their data and privacy.

Metrici developed a comprehensive strategy and compliance plan for its clients. This compliance plan is essential for a smooth transition, enabling clients to address all aspects of transformation in accordance with EU requirements and minimize the risks of non-compliance.

This new characteristic is available to companies, individuals, and state institutions using any Metrici engine with the interface — but only in the new version of the software, not the old one.

Compatible Engines

Works with every engine.
One setting, full coverage.

🚗 LPR

🔮 And more

Future Metrici engines will also support this feature automatically.

What's Next

Just the beginning.
More privacy features coming.

The image-blurring feature is just the first step. Additional privacy features will be introduced later — some based on user requests and community feedback.

Users are encouraged to contact Metrici with suggestions to help shape these future developments.
