A blue 11 x 8 motion grid is displayed over the live video. To create a mask you can either
individually click on each motion region or you can left click holding down your mouse and drag
the cursor to another region selecting multiple regions.
Click the Apply button to enable the motion mask.
There are a couple of ways to remove a motion mask. First, if you have not yet clicked the
apply button, you can remove the mask by clicking the cancel button.
You can then create a new mask. Once you are happy with the location of the mask, click the
Apply button.
If you have already clicked the Apply button and want to delete them, click the Edit button again
and then click the Clear button. All of the masks will be cleared from the window. You can now
add a new mask or keep the window clear. Remember to click the Apply button to accept the
changes.
Clicking the Defaults button will clear any motion masks you have created AND reset all of the
Record Settings to the default settings.
8. The Crop Window feature is not available on analog cameras.
9. The Video Mask is used to mask out a one rectangular region of live and recorded video. If you
need to secure an area with video cameras but there’s an object such as a combination safe or
keypad that you don’t want anyone to see, the video mask will permanently mask both live and
recorded video from being viewed.
Click on the Edit button and a yellow video mask grid will appear over the live video.
