You can use a privacy mask to obscure areas in the camera view. A privacy mask obscures video (live and historical) so that a viewer cannot identify objects but allows Symphony to analyze the video for alarms.
A static privacy mask obscures a defined area of the camera view. A dynamic privacy mask obscures tracked objects.
