Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List, Video & Audio > Privacy Mask, shows all the masks that are currently congured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
Since the Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates dene its size and position, a privacy mask is dynamic in relation to the monitored area. This
means that regardless of the angle and zoom of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To dene at what magnication the
mask should be displayed, zoom to the desired level and click Set level.
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, choose a color for the mask, and give the mask a name.
For more information, see the online help
