Areas screen ( Actions | Areas ) Areas are similar to privacy masks. Both hide areas designated as sensitive. But whereas privacy masks cover
only a portion of the video displayed, areas hide all of it. Areas replace the video with a blue screen when the
camera passes the center point of a marked area. You can also display the title on the monitor screen of a
designated area without blanking the video with a blue screen. You can create 120areas.
When creating your masks, be aware that they are triggered by their center viewpoint. Therefore, it is a
common practice to make masks twice the size of the area that you wish to cover so that the masked areas are
properly triggered when the camera enters the trigger zone.
