When there is a zone that is not to be displayed, set the zone as a privacy zone to not to display. Up to 8 privacy
zones can be set.
Notes:
• Depending on the panning/tilting direction (especially when the tilting degree is 45 ° - 90 °) and the zooming fac-
tor, the area set as the privacy zone may become visible. Make sure that each of the set privacy zone is not visi-
ble after setting it.
• The privacy zone function does not work when the camera is in the process of warming-up just after turning on
the power, or in the process of refreshing the position.
