be configured as a gray area with four corners. You may define a total of 24 privacy masks.

Select the number of the Privacy mask. A colored rectangle appears in the unlabeled video
preview window above the Set button.

rectangle (Mask Outline) in the scene.

window.

Double-click on the edges to add or remove nodes.
Click and drag the nodes to position them correctly.
To avoid hiding too much of the scene, don't expand the mask outline more than twice
the default size.
To provide the optimum mask performance, don't shrink the mask outline to less than
half of the default size.
