Privacy Zones
Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the camera’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators
of the surveillance system who do not have access to the camera password from viewing these
designated zones. Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes.
The apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Privacy
Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a privacy Zone around a
safe’s combination, but still view people approaching or opening the safe.
Up to 8 rectangular privacy zones can be used on the camera.
