3.10 Privacy Mask Protection
The Privacy Mask can block out sensitive areas from view, covering the areas with black boxes in both
live view and recorded clips. This feature is ideal for locations with displays, keyboard sequences (e.g.
passwords), and for anywhere else you don’t want sensitive information visible.
You can also choose to retrieve the block-out areas during playback. The retrievable areas will be
protected by password.
