How to hide parts of the image with privacy masks
If you want to hide parts of the image due to privacy reasons, use one or several privacy masks.
What is a privacy mask?
A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as blocks
of solid color or blurred image elements and are applied on the video stream.
Privacy masks are present on all snapshots, recorded video, and requested streams. They can not be bypassed through the VAPIX®
application programming interface (API).
The privacy mask is relative to the pan, tilt, and zoom coordinates which means that regardless of the angle and zoom, the privacy
mask covers the same place or object.
Important
If you add many privacy masks, this may affect the product's performance.
