Privacy Masks

Privacy Masking is used to block out a specific area of a scene from being viewed. Masks can
be configured as a gray area with four corners. You may define a total of 24 privacy masks.
Pattern
Select the color of the mask as it will appear in live video: Gray
Privacy mask
Select the number of the privacy mask. A colored rectangle appears in the unlabeled video
preview window above the Set button.
3. Navigate to the scene where the privacy mask is required.
4. Use the Zoom controls to zoom in so that the object to be covered is approximately the
same size as the Mask Outline.
5. Use the Pan/Tilt controls to center the object inside the Mask Outline.
Note: Do not move the mask outline at this time. It should remain in the center of the preview
window.
6. If required, place the cursor on a corner or on a vertex of the mask rectangle, and then click
and drag to expand or to shrink the Mask Outline.

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 last drop-down box (the unlabeled Mode selection list), select the encoder
quality for the defined area. (The drop-down box 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 second drop-down box (the unlabeled Prepositions/Scenes
selection list), select a Preposition/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
Preposition 1 or the custom name for the preposition).
Note: If you have not yet defined any prepositions/scenes, refer to Prepositions 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.
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.
