Remote focus and zoom

The remote focus and zoom functionality allows you to make focus and zoom adjustments to your camera from a computer. It is a
convenient way to ensure that the scene's focus, viewing angle and resolution are optimized without having to visit the camera's
installation location.

Privacy masks

A privacy mask is a user-defined area that covers a part of the monitored area. In the video stream, privacy masks appear either as
blocks of solid color or with a mosaic pattern.
You'll see the privacy mask on all snapshots, recorded video, and live streams.
You can use the VAPIX® application programming interface (API) to hide the privacy masks.
Important
If you use multiple privacy masks it may affect the product's performance.
You can create several privacy masks. Each mask can have 3 to 10 anchor points.
Important
Set the zoom and focus before you create a privacy mask.
