Video and Audio
• If you combine a text overlay with and image overlay, the text overlay always takes presidence over the overlay image in
height. A text overlay always stretches across the whole video image which means you cannot shrink the overlay strip to
make room for an image. For information about the different text overlay heights, see About overlay text.
To always cover a selected part of the monitored area, use a privacy mask. See About privacy masks on page 30.

About privacy masks
A privacy mask is a user-dened area that covers parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as blocks of solid color or
blurred image elements and are applied on the video stream. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed using the VAPIX® application
programming interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List (Video & Audio > Privacy Mask) shows all the masks that are currently congured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
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
