Define privacy masks

When you enable the privacy masking feature on the Privacy masking tab, a grid is applied to the camera preview.

1. To cover an area with a privacy mask, first select if you want a permanent or liftable privacy mask.

   

2. Drag the mouse pointer over the preview. Press down the left mouse button to select a grid cell. Press down the right mouse button to clear a grid cell.
3. You can define as many privacy mask areas as needed. Areas with permanent privacy masks appear in purple and areas with liftable privacy masks in green.

   

4. Define how the covering of the areas should appear in the video when shown in the clients. Use the sliders to go from a light blurring to a full nontransparent mask.

   Note: Permanent privacy masks also appear on the Motion tab.

5. In XProtect Smart Client, check that the privacy masks appear as you defined.
