Privacy Mask

A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prevent users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as blocks
of solid color and are applied on the video stream. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed using the VAPIX® application programming
interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List (Video & Audio > Privacy Mask) shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, choose a color for the mask, and give the mask a name.
For more information, see the online help
Important
Adding many privacy masks may affect the product's performance.

Audio Modes
The Axis product supports the following audio modes:
• Full duplex – Simultaneous two-way audio allowing the Axis product to transmit and receive audio at the same time.
There is no echo cancellation; if feedback loops appear, try moving the microphone or the speaker.
• Half-duplex – Audio can be transmitted to and from the Axis product but only in one direction at a time. To transmit
audio using the Live View page, use the Talk and Listen buttons, see AMC Audio Controls on page 11 .
