Privacy Zones
This function allows you to hide (mask) up to 4 user-definable areas in the camera to
ensure privacy protection and compliance with laws and regulations that prohibit certain
locations from being monitored and/or recorded. The defined Privacy Zones are, then,
directly blackened in the camera.
Note that the combined area of all active Privacy Zones can maximally amount to up to
40% of the entire image.
