A method and apparatus is provided for controlling a surveillance device. A recorder is configured to digitally record detected information. A privacy protection mode is selected as override mode for fully unrestricted capture of surveillance information. Otherwise, a bypass mode is selected for partially unrestricted capture of surveillance information. In bypass mode, captured information is filtered by the type of activity detected and then encrypted for access by an authorized entity. In override mode, an authorization process is used to ensure that the surveillance device remains installed in an approved location.
