Privacy mask
You can define an area on screen to remain hidden from view and recording. For example, you
can choose to block the view of a camera when overlooking residential premises. This hidden
area is referred to as privacy masking. Privacy masking cannot be viewed in live view or
recorded mode, and appears as a black area on the video image.
Up to four privacy masks can be defined for one analog camera. For IP cameras, the amount of
privacy masks is determined by the amount supported by the camera.
