Configure Privacy & Overlay Settings

Privacy & Overlay setting lets you mask sensitive areas or automatically blur faces in camera video. Also display date/time and the camera name on video to clearly indicate the source and recording time. All settings take effect immediately in Live View.

Configure Privacy & Overlay in the following situations.

  • When you need to mask specific areas that may invade privacy

  • When you need to comply with privacy policies by automatically blurring faces

  • When you need to ensure traceability of recorded video by displaying date/time

  • When operating multiple cameras, display camera names to clarify the video source

Info

Privacy settings (masking, face blur) apply only to video display; AI analysis runs on the original images and does not affect AI performance.

Privacy & Overlay settings​

  1. Click Settings in the upper-left of the screen.

  2. In the left sidebar, click Basic → Privacy & Overlay.

  3. To save changes, click Save in the upper right corner of the screen.

Saved changes apply to the camera immediately after saving.

Privacy area settings​

Mask specific areas in recorded video that should remain private. Set up to 10 areas; each area is fixed and does not move.

  1. Click the toggle button in the Area Setting section.

  2. Click + Add.

  3. A masking area is added to Live View. Drag the corners of the area to resize it, or drag the entire area to move it.

  4. After you create a masking area, set the area name, order, and color in the right settings panel.

    • Name: The masking area name is generated automatically and can be edited if needed.

    • Order: Adjust the display order when masking areas overlap. A higher number appears on top.

    • Color: Select the masking area color.

  5. To save the added masking area, click Save in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Saved masking areas are applied to Live View and recorded video.

Info

  • Masked areas are applied automatically to all view modes (fisheye, single panorama, double panorama, and quad).

  • To reset the masking area settings, click reset.

  • To delete a masking area, click delete.

Face privacy settings​

Automatically blur detected faces or full bodies to protect personal information. Enable Face Privacy Setting and choose the desired blur scope.

  • Face only: All detected faces are automatically blurred.

  • Full Body: The entire detected body is automatically blurred.

Info

Blurring faces or full bodies does not affect AI performance. While the camera displays blurred video, AI analysis runs on the original images, so AI features such as Facial Authentication and object tracking operate normally.

Overlay settings​

Display date/time and camera name in Live View. Enable Overlay and adjust details in Date & Time and Camera Name.

Info

Each setting is saved automatically upon change and immediately applied to Live View.
