About privacy masks

A privacy mask is a user-defined area that covers parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as blocks of solid color and are
applied on the video stream. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed using the VAPIX® application programming interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List (Video > Privacy Mask) shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and indicates
if they are enabled.
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, choose a color for the mask, and give the mask a name.
