Block out building with Dahua SD8A840VI-HNI

[Cheryl]

Hello,

I have a livestream, and need to block out a building even when using PTZ. Is that possible with the SD8A840VI-HNI Dahua Camera?

Thanks for the help!

If you have the Privacy Masking option in Camera>Video>Overlay section you should be able to set up areas you want to not show in the video. Keep in mind this blocks out all video, so even locally viewed footage is blocked out.

Thank you! I will try that and see if it is what works for what I need.
