Privacy Zones
Privacy Zones are "masked" sections of the camera's viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the
surveillance system who do not have access to the camera 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 camera's pan/tilt position.
The apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Privacy Zones are
useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a privacy Zone around a safe's combination, but
still view people approaching or opening the safe. When Privacy Zones are active, the camera's firmware
automatically disables text transparency.
Up to 32 rectangular privacy zones can be used on the camera.
Note:
Areas of the Privacy Zone may be exposed during rapid pan/tilt movements of the camera. To compensate for this
limitation, you may want to program the Privacy Zone to be 20 to 25% larger than the area you want to mask.
