Setting up privacy masking

You can define an area on screen to remain hidden from view. For example, you
can choose to block the view of a camera when overlooking residential premises.
This hidden area is referred to as privacy masking. Privacy masking cannot be
viewed in live view or recorded mode, and appears as a black area on the video
image.

To setup a privacy mask:

1. From the menu toolbar, click

Camera Management

>

Privacy Mask

.

2. Select the camera for which to set up privacy masking.

3. Check the

Enable Privacy Mask

box to enable the feature.

4. Set up the mask area. Up to four areas can be set.

Using the mouse, click and drag a privacy-mask box in the camera view
window over the desired area. You can set up to four areas for privacy
masking. Masked areas are dimmed and outlined in four different colors. Click

Apply

to save settings.

To delete a mask, check the desired mask and click

Clear

for that color mask.
