useful when you want to protect personal privacy or sensitve areas.
You can place up to four zones per camera to hide from view.
• Click and drag on the preview window to select the area you want to hide.
• To remove an existing privacy mask, click on the
Clear Zone button associated
with the outline colour of the privacy mask.
