description In the digital age, where the Internet of Things (IoT) permeates every facet of our lives, the safeguarding of data privacy, especially video data, emerges as a paramount concern. The ubiquity of IoT devices, capable of capturing and disseminating vast quantities of video data, introduces unprecedented challenges in ensuring the privacy and security of such information. This article explores the crucial intersection of video data privacy and blockchain technology within IoT networks. It aims to uncover and articulate the unique challenges video data encounter in the IoT ecosystem, such as susceptibility to unauthorized access and the difficulty in ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. By conducting a thorough literature review, this study not only illuminates the intricate privacy challenges inherent in IoT environments but also showcases the immutable, decentralized nature of blockchain as a potent solution. We systematically explore how blockchain-based methods can be pragmatically implemented to fortify video data privacy, scrutinizing the efficacy of these approaches in the IoT context. Through critical assessment, the paper delineates the strengths and limitations of video blockchain solutions, underscoring the transformative potential of blockchain technology as a cornerstone for enhancing data privacy in IoT networks. Conclusively, this work advocates for blockchain as an indispensable tool in the advancement of data privacy measures for video content, thereby reinforcing trust and security in the increasingly connected fabric of our digital world. As IoT applications burgeon, the fusion of blockchain technology with IoT infrastructures promises a robust framework for protecting sensitive video data, heralding a future of enhanced trust and security in our interconnected ecosystem.
