Privacy mask settings
Privacy masks let you conceal sensitive areas (such as neighboring windows) to
protect them from view on the monitor screen and in the recorded video. You can
create 16 privacy masks (numbered 1 to 16) per camera. A maximum of eight privacy
masks can be displayed at one time.
When creating your masks, it is a common practice to make them 50% larger than
the areas you wish to cover so that the masked areas remain concealed at all times.
Also, be aware that masks cannot be created in the area directly below the dome
camera.
The dome camera takes the center of the selected view as the starting point when
setting a mask. The joystick is locked during setup.
