AXIS Q6045 Mk II PTZ Dome Network Camera
Video and Audio
Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be
bypassed via 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.
Since the Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates define its size and position, a privacy mask is dynamic in relation to the monitored area. This
means that regardless of the angle and zoom of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To define at what magnification the
mask should be displayed, zoom to the desired level and click Set level.
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 .
Simplex — Network Camera speaker only - Audio is transmitted from a client to the Axis product and can be played by a speaker
connected to the product. To transmit audio using the Live View page, the Talk and Microphone buttons must both be active,
see AMC Audio Controls on page 11 .
Simplex — Network Camera microphone only - Audio captured by the product microphone is transmitted from the Axis product to
one or more clients.
To set the audio mode, go to Video & Audio > Audio Settings and select the desired mode from the Audio mode drop-down list.
Audio Input
An external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio-in connector. Configure the audio input settings under Video
& Audio > Audio Settings.
Note
A multi-connector cable (available from Axis) is required when connecting external audio equipment to the Axis product.
See Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately).
Use the Input gain to control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the audio input. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB, to amplify
the sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. The Level bar gives a visual representation of the audio signal level in dB
relative to the full-scale input level.
