7.3 Virtual Masking (500i Series Only)
Virtual Masking is a unique Bosch technology that allows you to create an “invisible” area that
ignores unwanted background motion. These invisible masks are similar to privacy zones,
except that the AutoDome AutoTrack and Motion Detection algorithms can see them.
– To configure a Virtual Mask, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, then select
Virtual Masking. To setup a Virtual Mask follow the on-screen menu instructions.
– In Pelco Mode, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, then select Virtual
Masking. To setup a Virtual Mask follow the on-screen menu instructions.
7.4 Privacy Masking (300 and 500i Series Only)
Privacy Masking is used to block out a specific area of a scene from being viewed. Mask
choices have been expanded to include black, white, or blurred, and can be configured with
three, four, or five corners to cover more complex shapes.
– To configure a Privacy Mask, open the Main menu, select Display Setup, and then select
Privacy Mask. Alternatively, enter the keyboard command ON-87-ENTER. To setup a
privacy mask, follow the on-screen menu instructions.
– In Pelco Mode open the Pelco Main menu, open the Bosch menu, select the Display
Setup menu, and finally select Privacy Masking. To setup a privacy mask, follow the on-
screen menu instructions
