Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the v ideo stream. The image, for example company logo, is used to provide
extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regardless of resolution and Pan/Tilt/Zoom
movements. To set up a dynamic mask, which will always mask the speci fied part of monitored area, see
Privacy Mask
.

Privacy Mask
Apriv
acy mask is an area of solid color that pro hibits users from v iewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks canno t be
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming 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.
Since the Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates defi ne its size and position, a privacy mask is dyna mic in relation to the monitored area. This
means that regardless of the angle and zoom of the lens, the same place or object will be hidd en. To define at what magnification the
mask should be displayed, zoom to the desired level and click Set level.
You can add a new mask, re-siz e the mask with the m ouse,chooseacolorforthemask,andgivethemaskaname.
