Privacy Mask

A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prevent users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as blocks
of solid color and are applied on the video stream. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed using 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.
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.

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.
• Green — the signal is at a good level.
• Yellow — the signal is becoming distorted.
• Red — the signal is distorted.
