7.6 Privacy Mode
Privacy mode allows you to protect your privacy by hiding the lens inside the camera, preventing camera
images from being seen. When privacy mode is activated:
– The POWER indicator turns red so that you can easily see that privacy mode is activated.
– No camera images are buffered or transferred.
– The camera image changes to a gray or black screen if privacy mode is activated while viewing camera
images.
– If privacy mode is already activated when you try to access the camera, a dialog will be displayed asking
if you want to disable privacy mode. In order to disable privacy mode, the administrator’s user name and
password must be entered.
