Overlay/Mask
Overlay/Mask Settings
When using an image overlay, select
from the following options the type you
want to use:
• Uploaded image as overlay - usually
used to provide extra information in
the video image.
• Uploaded image as privacy mask -
conceals part of the video image.
• Configurable areas as privacy masks -
up to three black areas are used to
conceal parts of the video image.
The difference between an overlay and a
privacy mask is that a privacy mask
cannot be bypassed by accessing the
video stream with the help of the AXIS HTTP API, whereas an overlay can.
Selecting the overlay/mask type will display further settings available for the selected type. See the online
help
for further information.
