Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List, Video > Privacy Mask, shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and indicates if they are enabled.
