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.

NOTICE! Draw the mask 10% larger than the object to ensure that the mask completely covers
the object as the AutoDome zooms in and out.

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.
NOTICE! Privacy Masking does not hinder AutoTrack from tracking an object.

Motion Detection with Region of Interest (500i Series Only)

(Preset positions 90 through 99)
With the 500i Series AutoDome, the motion detection software can be configured to create a
Region of Interest within multiple preset positions or scenes. It can take advantage of Virtual
Masking to ignore motion in predefined areas. Motion Detection can also be used as an Alarm
Rule input.
Preset positions 90 through 99 are reserved for programming motion detection scenes.
NOTICE! Motion Detection always takes precedence over AutoTrack object tracking.
