You can define an area on screen to remain hidden from view. For example, you

This hidden area is referred to as privacy masking. Privacy masking cannot be

image.

Camera Management

screen over the desired area. You can set up to four areas for privacy
masking. Masked areas are dimmed and outlined in four different colors. Click
