Prepare all Cameras

On each camera in the room:

  1. Set the I/O Ports
  2. Set the PTZ Presets
  3. Set the Privacy Mask


Set the I/O Ports

The Input/Output (I/O) ports will be wired to the Privacy Switch. These are used to determine which mode the camera should be in and outputs power to the Privacy Switch to light up the LED.


  1. Go to System → AccessoriesPrivacy rules 12x 08.png🖼️.
  2. Ensure that Ports 1 & 3 are set as Input and 2 & 4 are set as Output.
    3. Port 1 Input Port 2 Output
    Port 3 Input Port 4 Output

✎Some cameras will only have ports 1 & 2.


⇧ Back to Top

Set the PTZ Presets

If there are any PTZ cameras in the room, you will need to set the preset positions on those cameras. These locations will help drive the camera to its Privacy Position and Home Position.


  1. Pan/Tilt/Zoom your camera to the desired angle.
  2. Go to PTZ → Preset PositionsPrivacy rules 12x 05.png🖼️.
  3. Select Preset Positions → Create preset positionPrivacy rules 12x 13.png🖼️.
    1. Home
      • Set a typical angle that would capture the room normally.

        • ✎The Home preset may already exist. If this is the case, hit the Edit button on the existing Home preset instead of creating a new preset.

      • In the Name field enter Home.
    2. Privacy
      • Typically, this involves having the PTZ face the wall.

        • ✎The exact position does not matter for functionality, but having the camera visibly face the wall can help to ensure visual privacy even if the mask is off.

      • In the Name field enter Privacy.

Set the Privacy Mask

The Privacy Mask will be used to block the view


While your camera is in the Privacy Position:

  1. Video → Privacy MasksPrivacy rules 12x 03.png🖼️ → Hit the plus (+) button to add a Mask.
  2. Have the mask cover the entire view.
  3. Name the mask Privacy.
    4. Make sure this is the first/only mask.


⇧ Back to Top

Add Recipients

The privacy switch is driven by custom rules/events created on the camera. These rules are sent to all cameras through Recipients.

Add Self

  1. Go to System → EventsPrivacy rules 12x 04.png🖼️ → RecipientsPrivacy rules 12x 07.png🖼️.
  2. Select Add Recipient.
  3. In the Name field, enter Self as the name of the camera.
  4. In the TypePrivacy rules 12x 09.png🖼️ field, select HTTP.
  5. The URLPrivacy rules 12x 10.png🖼️ of the recipient will be in the form:
    6. http://CAMERA_IP/axis-cgi/param.cgi
Image Example

Privacy rules 12x 00.png


⇧ Back to Top

Add Remote Cameras

If there is more than one camera in thme setup, be sure to add additional recipients. This will allow you to create additional rules later to tell thme remote cameras what to do when privacy is enabled/disabled.


All Remote Recipients

Repeart the steops from Add Self, but change the Name to Remote.

Remote PTZ Recipients

For remote PTZ cameras, separate PTZ Control recipients need to be made alongside the standard recipient of the form: 

http://CAMERA_IP/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi
Image Example

Privacy rules 12x 11.png

  1. Enter in the corresponding Username and Password for the recipient camera.
  2. Hit the Test button.
  3. If the camera responds that everything is okay, hit the Save button to save your recipient.

    4. ⚠Repeat this process on all PTZ cameras in the room that the privacy switch would be activating.

Add Privacy Event Rules

Privacy Off

  1. Go to System → EventsPrivacy rules 12x 04.png🖼️ → RulesPrivacy rules 12x 06.png🖼️.
  2. Select Add a rule.
  3. Set Name to Privacy Off.
  4. Set Condition to Digital input is active or I/O → Digital input. (Firmware Dependent)
  5. In the Port section, select the port the privacy switch trigger is connected to (white wire).
  6. Set Action to Send notification through HTTP.
  7. Set the Recipient.
  8. The Query string suffix will be of the form name=value for each parameter name and value, with an ampersand (&) between each name/value pair.

The suffix should be composed of the following pairs:

Name Value
action update
Image.I0.Overlay.MaskWindows.M0.Enabled no
AudioSource.A0.InputGain 0
PTZ.Various.V1.PanEnabled true
PTZ.Various.V1.TiltEnabled true
PTZ.Various.V1.ZoomEnabled true
autofocus on
Image Example

Privacy rules 12x 01.png

The completed suffix should be (ignore word wrapping):
