Creating a Privacy Mask
A privacy mask can be
used if you want to ob-
scure part of your im-
age for privacy. You can
also use this option to
minimize false trig-
gers for Motion Detec-

to four areas per cam-
era to mask. Any area
obscured by a privacy
mask won't be shown
live or recorded.

click the mouse to access the sub-menu (as shown above) then click
"Delete Area". Click "Delete All" to delete all masks. Click "Save" to
