Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).
Privacy masks are displayed in Normal mode. Overview mode always shows the whole monitored area.
The Privacy Mask List, Video & Audio > Privacy Mask, shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
The Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates of the privacy mask are locked in their position. This means that regardless of the angle and zoom
of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To define at what magnification the mask should be displayed, zoom to
the desired level and click Set level.
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.

the Live View page, use the Talk and Listen buttons, see Audio Controls, on page 11.
Simplex — speaker only - Audio is transmitted from a client to the Axis product and can be played by a speaker connected
to the product. To transmit audio using the Live View page, the Talk and Microphone on buttons must both be active, see Audio
Controls, on page 11.
Simplex — microphone only - Audio captured by the product microphone is transmitted from the Axis product to one or more clients.
To set the audio mode, go to Video & Audio > Audio Settings and select the desired mode from the Audio mode drop-down list.
