View area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. You can stream and store view areas instead of the full view to minimize bandwidth
and storage needs. If you enable PTZ for a view area, you can pan, tilt and zoom within it. By using view areas you can remove parts
of the full view, for example, the sky.
When you set up a view area, we recommend you to set the video stream resolution to the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. If you set the video stream resolution larger than the view area size it implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
which requires more bandwidth without adding image information.

Guard tours
A guard tour displays the video stream from different preset positions either in a predetermined or random order, and for configurable
periods of time. Once started, a guard tour continues to run until stopped, even when there are no clients (web browsers) viewing the
images.

Privacy masks
A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prevents users from viewing a part of the monitored area. In the video stream, privacy
masks appear as blocks of solid color or blurred image elements.
You’ll see the privacy mask on all snapshots, recorded video, and live streams.
You can use the VAPIX® application programming interface (API) to hide the privacy masks.
Important
If you use multiple privacy masks it may affect the product’s performance.
You can create several privacy masks. The maximum number of masks depends on the complexity of all the masks combined. The
more anchor points in each mask, the fewer masks you can create. Each mask can have 3 to 10 anchor points.
