Creating a restricted view
Depending on the camera type, in the camera's settings window, you can use the restricted view tab to specify one or more areas of the video panel to be obscured, and to associate a password with that view. When the video for that camera is displayed, you can temporarily hide the obscuring boxes by entering the password.
When video is exported, .psx and
.exe file types only will be permitted for
cameras with restricted view enabled, and the video and metadata will be encrypted.
Restricted view data is included in the data for these files, and is displayed in
ePlayer by default. You can enter the associated password to temporarily hide the
obscuring boxes.
- From the navigation tree, expand the relevant server node.
- Click , and then select the relevant camera.
- On the Restricted View tab, click New.
- Left-click the video panel and drag the cursor diagonally until you have drawn a box around the area you want to obscure.
-
Add an Override Password and optional
Display Message to set the password required to
display content restricted by an obscuring box.
Note: You can also edit the appearance of the restricted area and display message.
- in the Restricted Area pane, select the Enabled check box to change the background color, border color, font, font effects, and opacity of the restricted view overlays. Changing the background color and opacity does not affect how the camera captures data.
- Click Apply.
