Systems and methods for dynamically masking video and images captured a drone device camera

A system comprising:

• a drone device;
• a camera carried the drone device;
• and a control system in communication with the drone device or the camera,
• wherein the drone device receives instructions to fly proximate to a potential surveillance area while in a learning mode, receives instructions to fly proximate to an active surveillance area in a standard mode
• wherein the camera carried by the drone receives instructions to capture first video or images of the potential surveillance area and receives instructions to capture second video or images of the active surveillance area, and
• wherein the control system, receives the first video or images of the potential surveillance area from the camera or the drone device, identifies first privacy masking areas from the first video or images, receives the second video or images of the active surveillance area from the camera or the drone device, identifies second privacy masking areas from the second video or images, and dynamically masks a portion of the second video or images that contains any of the first privacy masking areas or the second privacy masking areas.
