Privacy masks
Privacy masks let you conceal sensitive areas (such as neighboring windows) to protect
them from view on the monitor screen and in the recorded video. The masking appears
as a blank area on screen. You can create up to four privacy masks per camera.
Note
: There may be a small difference in size of the privacy mask area depending on
whether local output or the web browser is used.
