Establishing Privacy Zones

Configuring Alarms, Areas, Home, Privacy Settings and Presets
Privacy Zones are "masked" sections of the dome's viewing area. These masks
prevent operators of the surveillance system who do not have access to the dome
password from viewing these designated zones. Each zone has four sides, and the
zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in relation to
the dome pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone
adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Up to eight Privacy Zones may
be established for a dome.
Privacy Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish
a Privacy Zone around a safe's combination. However, you could view people
approaching or opening the safe.
In addition, the appearance of the configuration menus changes slightly when
Privacy Zones are active. Both the first and last lines of the menus will appear in
enlarged text when Privacy Zones are active. The menus change to one-sized text
if Privacy Zones are hidden or deleted.
To program Privacy Zones, select Privacy Zones from the
Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/ PZ screen. The following screen appears:
PRIVACY ZONES
ADD PRIVACY ZONES
DELETE SPECIFIC ZONE
DELETE ALL ZONES
HIDE ALL ZONES? NO/YES
