When privacy masking is activated, a new option appears on
the screen that allows you to censor (black out) an area in the
image you don’t wish the camera to capture.
Use your mouse in order to resize the box and move it into
the desired position on the live video. Privacy masking is an
important function designed to protect the people’s right for
privacy.
Example 1: The camera is installed in your home: e.g.,
overlooking your driveway. In the background is the
neighbor’s house, which you have no intention of monitoring.
It would illegal in some cases for you to do so. To resolve this
problem, you can activate a privacy zone over your neighbor’s
house.
Example 2: The camera is installed in your company; for
example, overlooking the warehouse. In one corner of the
warehouse is the break room, where the employees go for
their lunch breaks. In many countries it is not permitted to
monitor the workers during their break. To comply with laws
and regulations, you can define a privacy mask in the break
area to ensure that this area is not being monitored or
recorded by the camera.
Note: Privacy masking can only be set up when using MS
Internet Explorer.
Text overlay is only applied to the MJPEG video stream, if
RTSP mode is set to off.
