Encoder Regions

User can configure encoding regions for every configured preset (scene), to increase or
decrease the encoding quality for selectable areas of the video image. These regions give
better control of the bit rate. Important parts of the scene (identified as objects in the GUI)
are encoded at high resolution and therefore have an enhanced encoding quality. Less
important parts (such as the sky and trees in the background, all identified as backgrounds in
the GUI) are encoded at lower quality and therefore have a decreased encoding quality.
Eight encoder regions can be defined. To define encoder regions, follow these steps.

Privacy Masks

Privacy masking is used to block a specific, private area of a scene from being seen in the
camera's field of view. This can be useful when public spaces are in the coverage area or
monitoring will be limited to a particular zone.
Twenty-four (24) privacy mask areas can be defined in the camera. The activated masked
areas are filled with the selected pattern in live view.
The areas covered are indicated by a colored pattern (Black, White, or Gray) in the video
image. A total of eight (8) masks can be in view at the same time.
Pattern
Select the color of the mask as it will appear in live video: Black, White, or Gray.

Resolution: Select the appropriate resolution.
Max. frame rate: Select one of the following frame rates to be the maximum: 5, 10, 15,
20, 25, or 30 ips.
Picture quality: This setting allows you to adjust the image quality. Use the slide bar to
choose a quality between Low and High.
From the Regions selection box (the first drop-down list), select one of the eight available
regions. (The drop-down list has the default option of Region 1).
Click the + box to add an area.
Use the mouse to define the area (shape) that the region covers and to position the area
(shape) in the preview of the video image.
– Drag the center, corner points, or sides of the shaded area (shape).
– Double-click a side to add additional points to the area (shape).
From the Mode selection box (the last drop-down list), select the encoder quality for the
defined area. (The drop-down list has the default option of Default).
For unimportant parts of the video image, select Background.
For important parts of the video image, select Object.
(The quality levels for Background and for Object are defined in the Expert Settings
section of the page Encoder Profile.)
For PTZ cameras: From the Scenes selection box (the second drop-down list), select a
Scene to which to add the region. (The drop-down list is blank by default unless you have
defined at least one scene, in which case the default is Scene 1).
Note: If you have not yet defined any scenes, refer to Scenes and Tours.
If required, select another region and repeat the steps.
To remove a region, select the area and click the waste bin icon.
Click Set to apply the region settings.
