Overlay/Mask Type
Overlay/Mask Type allows you to
place an overlay, or up to three pri-
vacy masks over the video image:
• Upload and place an image as an
overlay - usually used to provide
extra information in the video
image.
• Place up to three privacy masks -
up to 3 configurable masks can be
used to conceal different areas of
the video image.
Selecting the overlay/mask type from the menu will display further settings available for
the selected type. See the online help for further information.
Note:
If you need to see an area of the video that is covered by an overlay or mask, a privacy mask cannot be
bypassed. An overlay image, however, can be bypassed with the help of the AXIS HTTP API.
