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. 
The permitted number of privacy masks is determined by the number supported by the 
camera. 
To setup a privacy mask: 
1.  From the menu toolbar, click Camera Setup > Privacy Mask. 
2.  Select the camera for which to set up privacy masking. 
3.  Select the Enable Privacy Mask checkbox to enable the feature. 
4.  Set up the mask area. Up to four areas can be set (depending on the camera). 
Using the mouse, click and drag a privacy-mask box in the camera view window 
over the desired area. You can set up to four areas for privacy masking. Masked 
areas are dimmed and outlined in four different colors. Click Apply to save settings. 
 
To delete a mask, click Clear All. All the masks are deleted.  
5.  To copy the settings to other cameras, click Copy and select the desired cameras. 
Click OK.
