Privacy masking

The TVR 10 lets you define an area on screen that can remain hidden from view. For
example, you can choose to block the view of a camera when overlooking residential
premises. This hidden area is referred to as privacy masking. Privacy masking cannot
be viewed live or recorded, and appears as a blank screen on display.
Figure 18 on page 51 provides an example of the privacy masking function.
