Motion Mask, Video Mask, and Motion Window
The following types of masks can be created on cameras connected to this system:
A • "Motion Mask" is an area of a video window where motion is ignored
A • "Motion Window" is an area of a video window where motion is monitored (and the remainder of the
screen is essentially masked).
A • "Video Mask" is used to block an area of a camera's view so that it cannot be seen onscreen in live or
recorded video.
Note:
The type of mask available varies by camera.•
A motion mask reduces unwanted recording by ignoring motion events that occur in certain areas of an image.
For example, if a camera is pointed at a room that has a moving ceiling fan in the field of view, you can avoid
continuous motion recording by masking out the fan while still recording motion that occurs in the rest of the
camera's field of view.
"Motion Mask" save storage space, extend recording time, and make it easier to visually see motion events on
the video timeline. A motion window is simply the opposite of a motion mask.

Press the [Edit] button shown in the q "Motion
Window" of the "Camera Settings" page.

Draw masks on the live video.
Adjust the "Sensitivity" and "Percentage" by mov-
ing each slider.
Select "Include" or "Exclude".
Repeat step 2 until desired area is obtained.

A "Video Mask" is used to block an area of a cam-

or recorded video.
This can be useful if you don't want system users to
see a combination safe or keypad that is in the cam-
era's field of view, for example.
