CHAPTER 5 RECORDING
5.3 MASK FIELD
The Mask Field lets you block a specific portion of a channel you do not want recorded or
shown on the display screen. This can be useful if you need to conceal a sensitive area being
captured by the installed camera.

Motion Detection menu can be found by accessing the Advance menu from the Main
Menu. In this menu you can configure motion detection for each channel.
The menu will only display four channels at a time. The pull-down menu in the upper left of the
