A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewi
ng parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot b e
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Pro gramming Interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List, Video & Audio > Privacy Mask, shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
The Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates of t he privacy mask ar e locked in their position. This means that regardless of the angle and zoom
of the lens, the same place or objec

the desired level and click Set level.
