If you set up EZVIZ security cameras or smart entry devices to keep an eye on your home but are concerned about potential privacy issues with your neighbors, drawing a privacy area can help you exclude areas you don’t want to include in your field of view.

These areas will be excluded when you view live or recorded footage. You can create up to four privacy areas for each EZVIZ device in your possession. If you prefer not to capture audio, you can disable the audio feature, which will ensure that your videos are completely silent.

Create, edit, or delete Privacy Areas

To create, edit, or delete Privacy Areas, please follow the steps below in the EZVIZ app:

1. From Home Page, tap the three-dot icon next to the device’s name or SN to enter the “Device Settings” page. 

2. Scroll down to find “Privacy Settings”. Then tap “Customize the privacy area” and enter it. For some specific models, you can find “Customize the privacy area” directly at the bottom after you enter the Device Settings page.

3. Tap “Add an area”. Then you can tap the area to move it and drag the bottom right corner to modify the size.

4. Then click “Save” on the top right corner to complete the settings.

5. To edit an area, tap the area you would like to edit, then you can move it or drag the bottom right corner to modify the size. Then click “Save” on the top right corner. 

6. To delete an area, tap the area you would like to delete and click “Delete the area”. Then click Yes to complete the settings.

Notes for Privacy Areas

1. The Privacy Area is NOT supported by all EZVIZ devices. You may review the detailed description on the product details page or contact our support team for more information.   

2. Once configured, the masked area will be shown in both live view and recordings.

3. If your device position moves, the privacy areas will change, potentially no longer covering the intended zones.
