Overlay/Mask settings

Overlay/Mask type
Overlay/Mask type allows you to
place an overlay, or up to three pri-
vacy masks over the video image:
• Upload and place an
image as an overlay -
usually used to provide
extra information in the
video image.
• Place up to 3 config-
urable privacy masks to
conceal different areas of
the video image.
Selecting the overlay/mask type from the menu will display further settings available for
the selected type. See the online help for further information.
Note:
A privacy mask cannot be bypassed, but an overlay image can be bypassed with the help of the AXIS VAPIX
API.
