Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is an area of solid colo r that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored a rea. 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.
The Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates of the privacy mask are locked in their position. This means that regardless of the angle and zoom
of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To d efi ne at what magnification the mask should be displayed, zoom to
the desired level and click Set level.
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, chooseacolorforthemask,andgivethemaskaname.Youcanconfigure
20 privacy masks and it is possible to use up to four privacy masks simultaneously.
