Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List,

, shows all the masks that are currently con
fi
gured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
The Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates of the privacy mask are locked in their position. This means that regardless of the angle and zoom
of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To de

fi
cation the mask should be displayed, zoom to
the desired level and click

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.
