10.6.1 How Privacy Zones are Programmed
Privacy Zones are established by selecting three points on the display image to
mask. The fourth point on the Privacy Zone is automatically generated by mirroring
the longest axis between the three selected points Fig. 34 illustrates how Privacy
Zones are programmed.

Privacy Zone programming example
The dome’s firmware prevents you from establishing a zone that is too small or too
large (greater than 90-degrees pan or tilt from the starting point).
Fig. 35 illustrates the Privacy Zone programming screen:

Navigate to corner 1(2, 3)
ZOOM to Mark Corner
FOCUS to Abandon Zone

Privacy Zone Programming screen
The circled arrows represent the target area on the screen for creating the Privacy
Zone. Normally, this target area remains in the center of the screen. Using the
Pan/Tilt control moves the target area by panning or tilting the dome. If the dome
reaches its maximum tilt position, the Privacy Zone may still be established in the
upper part of the display. When this occurs, the arrows move relative to the
movement of the Pan/Tilt control until the top of the display area is reached.
The boundary points on the Privacy Zone are selected by pressing Zoom. Once a
boundary point is selected, the arrows “blink” until the target area is moved to a
valid area. Once the target moves to a valid area, the arrows stop blinking. If you
move the target more than 90-degrees from a selected point, the arrows begin to
blink again, indicating that the boundary is too large.
If you attempt to establish a boundary point while the arrows are blinking you will
receive an error message: Zone is Too Small or Zone is Too Large. If this
happens, you must start programming from the beginning. Pressing Focus Far
returns you to the Privacy Zone programming screen.
If you attempt to program more than eight Privacy Zones, the following message
appears:
