Axis P1347-E [21/66] Privacy mask

AXIS P1346/-E/AXIS P1347/-E - Video & Audio

Privacy mask

A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Up to three privacy

masks can be used. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).

Privacy masks are set up in the overview image but will also conceal the parts of a view area that coincide with the mask.

Privacy Mask List

The Privacy Mask List shows all the masks that are currently configured in the network camera and indicates if they are

enabled.

Add/Edit Mask

To define a new mask:

1. Click Add. A rectangle appears on the image.

2. Use the mouse to move the rectangle. To resize, click and pull the bottom right-hand corner.

3. Enter a descriptive name in the Mask name field.

4. Click Save.

To edit a privacy mask, select the mask and reshape or move as needed.

To change the Privacy mask color, select a new color from the drop-down list.

Focus

The Focus page provides tools and step-by-step

instructions for focusing the the network camera. See

also the Installation Guide supplied with the product.

For most applications, the adjustments on the Basic

tab are sufficient. If required, additional adjustments

can be made on the Advanced tab.

Before focusing, always click Open iris to open the iris

to its maximum. This gives the smallest depth of field

and thus best conditions for correct focusing. After

focusing, click Enable iris to enable the iris again.

Basic

Follow the on-screen instructions on the Basic tab to

adjust zoom and focus.

The pixel counter is used to determine the number of

pixels in an area of the image. To position the pixel

counter, click and drag the window to the desired

position.

Notes:

• The back focus (step 2) should only be reset if the camera has been focused previously.

• Set focus as precisely as possible using the focus puller on the lens (step 3) before starting the automatic fine-tuning

(step 4).

• If the camera is placed so that it is difficult to look at the image and move the pullers at the same time, you can use

the Focus Assistant to focus the camera; for instructions, see the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
