Censoring a video recording of an environment, the environment containing a protected entity displaying protected content to be censored. Video of the environment is processed in accordance with an entity recognition process to identify the presence of at least part of an entity in the environment. It is determined if the identified entity is to be censored based on based on entity information of a received VLC signal. Based on the identified entity being determined to be censored, the video recording is modified to replace at least a portion of the identified entity with a graphical element adapted to obscure the portion of the identified entity in the video stream. By modifying a video stream to obscure an entity, protected content in the environment may be prevented from being displayed to a viewer of the video recording.
