View source for Privacy Button 2020-Present

=Overview=
From time to time an IVS customer may have the need to use one of their VALT Rooms without the capacity to view live or record. Or, they may run sessions that contain sensitive information from time to time, which they do not captured in a recording. In this case, we can configure cameras for Privacy Mode, which blankets the screen with a black video overlay and omits all audio from the stream. 


The Privacy Switch is a customizable solution for placing VALT cameras in Privacy Mode - a physical button to engage this option. 


These instructions are written for use with a camera with 4 I/O ports (6 pin phoenix connector). Port 1 and 2 (pins 3 and 4) are reserved for use with the VALT Recording Start/Stop button.

=Compatible Cameras and Wire Diagrams=
The privacy switch should be usable with any AXIS camera with at least one free input and one free output. The camera must be running firmware version 5.50 or higher.

===Manual Set up of Privacy Rules===
''Please skip this section if you loaded the rules to the camera already from the instructions above.''

If you are complete with this page, and you did not use a config file, continue by selecting the firmware of your camera. In the case of multiple cameras, the steps on the following pages should only be done for the main camera; the recipient cameras do not need rules built. 

[[Manually Set Up Privacy Switch Rules for 6.x Firmware]]

[[Manually Set Up Privacy Switch Rules for 8.x Firmware]]

[[Manually Set Up Privacy Switch Rules for 9.x Firmware]]

==Set Privacy Location for PTZ Camera==
If the camera is a PTZ, you need to set a Privacy Location. This can be done through the API or through the web browser of the camera. 

===Via API===
# Open a web browser.
# Copy and paste the following link into the address bar. Replace '''''ipaddress''''' with the ip address of the camera:
#: http://'''''ipaddress'''''/axis-cgi/com/ptzconfig.cgi?setserverpresetname=Privacy&home=yes
# Press Enter to submit the address.

===Via Web Interface===
Perform these steps '''only''' if configuring the mask via API fails.
# Open a web browser.

==Set Privacy Mask==
This can be done through the API or through the web browser of the camera. 

===Via API===
# Open a web browser.
# Copy and paste the following link into the address bar. Replace '''''ipaddress''''' with the ip address of the camera:
#: http://'''''ipaddress'''''/axis-cgi/privacymask.cgi?action=add&name=mask1&width=100&height=100
# Press Enter to submit the address.
# The mask should now be created. This can verified by browsing to the IP address of the camera. The live view should show a black screen.
