Audio Video Term

Privacy Mask

Privacy Mask is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Privacy Mask is a configured blocked area in a camera view that prevents recording or viewing sensitive zones.

Example of Privacy Mask

A homeowner can view live cameras from a phone, review recorded motion events, and receive alerts when a camera detects activity near an entry point. In that kind of Davis security and surveillance project, the term Privacy Mask would describe a configured blocked area in a camera view that prevents recording or viewing sensitive zones. Davis would use that understanding to account for camera placement, recording, alerts, access rules, privacy expectations, and app access, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
