6.6 Mask Area Setup (Privacy Mask)

Some cameras may be installed in a sensitive area where it would be advantageous to mask a
portion of the image to prevent viewing and recording. A Privacy Mask can be applied to any
camera. This area will be blacked out on the viewed and recorded image. Setup of a Privacy
Mask:
1. Enter the "Camera Input Adjustment" menu:
2. Select a camera: Use the [] [] keys to select a camera.
4. Enable the check box next to the "Area" button (press the Edit key to enable "").
5. Select the "Area" button and press [ENTER] to enter the mask area setup.
Setup mask area: In the mask area setup interface, there is one small yellow pane on the upper
left side. For NTSC cameras, the screen is divided into 22*15 sections (22*18 for PAL). Use the
[] [] [] [] keys to move the yellow pane to a starting position and press the [EDIT] key.
The yellow pane will turn red. Use the [] [] [] [] keys to extend the red privacy mask
