When you enable privacy masking, the preview image is divided into selectable sections by a grid.
To define privacy mask regions, drag the mouse pointer over the required areas in the preview image. Pressing down
left mouse button selects a grid section; right mouse button clears a grid section.
You are able to define as many privacy mask regions as you require. Privacy mask regions are shown in red.
The red privacy mask indications will also appear in the preview image on the
Motion
tab.
Grid Size
The value selected in the
Grid size
list determines the density of the grid, regardless whether the grid is shown or
not.
Select between the values 8×8 (i.e. a grid dividing the image into eight sections along the X-axis and eight
sections along the Y-axis), 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64.
With a grid of 8×8, the image will be divided into relatively few sections for you to select for privacy mask
regions. Each section will be relatively large; you will not be able to define very detailed privacy mask regions.
With a grid size of 64×64, the image will be divided into relatively many sections for you to select for privacy
mask regions. Each section will be relatively small, enabling you to define more detailed privacy mask
regions.
Show Grid
The grid may be visible or hidden, depending on whether the
Show grid
check box is selected or not.
When the
Show grid
check box is selected (default), the preview image will feature a grid indicating the
division of the preview image into selectable sections. The grid may help you when selecting privacy mask
regions in the preview image.
Showing the grid is not a requirement for selecting privacy mask regions; even without the grid you are able
to select privacy mask regions as described above. Hiding the grid may provide a less obscured view of the
preview image.
Show Privacy Masks
When the
Show privacy masks
check box is selected (default), privacy mask regions will be highlighted in red
in the preview image.
Hiding privacy mask regions may provide a less obscured view of the preview image.
However, under normal circumstances it is highly recommended that you keep the
Show privacy masks
box
selected; otherwise exclude privacy mask regions may exist without you or your colleagues being aware of it.
Pen size
Use the
Pen size
slider to indicate the size of the selections you wish to make when clicking and dragging the
grid to select regions for privacy masking. Default is set to small, which is equivalent to one square in the
grid.
PTZ Patrolling Tab (Camera Properties)
The
Patrolling
tab lets you create patrolling profiles, the automatic movement of a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera
between a number of preset positions (see "PTZ Presets Tab (Camera Properties)" on page 83). Before you are able
to work with patrolling, you must have specified at least two preset positions for the camera.
You manage patrolling on the
Patrolling
tab, which is available only when the selected camera is a PTZ camera.
Patrolling profiles are the definitions of how patrolling should take place. This includes the order in which the camera
should move between preset positions, how long it should remain at each position for, etc. You are able to create an
unlimited number of such patrolling profiles and use them in your rules (see "Manage Rules" on page 133). For
