Audio/Video Windows
Privacy Region Window
The Privacy Region window provides options for creating up to four user-defined masking zones that
can be used to provide regions of privacy in the camera field of view. Video within privacy regions is not
recorded in the camera, nor sent in the video stream. Instead of the actual video, privacy regions display
one of the colors available from the Region Color drop-down list.
To display the Privacy Region window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing
the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Audio/Video, then click Privacy Region.
If you change any options in the Privacy Region window, you must click Apply to save the changes.
Table 3-11 describes the options in the Privacy Region window.
