Overlay/Mask type
When using an image overlay,
select from the following options
the type to use:
Uploaded image as overlay -
usually used to provide extra
information in the video
image.
Uploaded image as privacy
mask - conceals part of the
video image.
Configurable areas as privacy
masks - up to 3 black areas are
used to conceal parts of the
video image.
The difference between an overlay and a privacy mask is that a privacy mask cannot be
bypassed by accessing the video stream with the help of the AXIS HTTP API, whereas an
overlay can.
Selecting the overlay/mask type will display further settings available for the selected type.
