Important
• Intelligent functions will not detect set privacy mask areas.
• Privacy masks are applied to all images transmitted from the
camera (live video, uploaded images, recorded video).
• The privacy mask function is not available in the following
situations:
– While the camera is starting up after being turned on
–
Camera video in the Camera Angle Setting
Tool
– While a panorama image is being created
• Privacy mask areas cannot be set in digital zoom areas.
• Privacy masks may deviate slightly from the specified
position depending on the zoom position.
• Set the privacy mask area to a somewhat larger size than the
area you want to hide. Also, be sure to confirm that after
setting a privacy mask, the area you want to hide does not
become visible when the camera direction is altered by pan,
tilt, or zoom operations.
• If the privacy mask settings were changed after a panorama
image was saved using the Panorama Creation Tool, the
panorama image must be recreated using the Panorama
Creation Tool.
