Draw a processing mask

You can draw a processing mask for a video analytic in the Symphony Server configuration interface to define the area in the camera view that the video analytic analyzes.

Drawing a processing mask is part of configuring a video analytic.

  1. In the Symphony Server configuration interface, click Devices > Cameras.
  2. Select the camera and click Edit.
  3. In the Add-Ons list click Configure for the video analytic.
  4. In the Processing section, perform the following tasks:
    1. In the Drawing Mode list, select whether the paintbrush marks areas in the processing mask image to include (Analyze) or exclude (Ignore).
    2. Using the Size slider, select the size of the paintbrush that you use in the processing mask image.
    3. Use the mouse to draw the processing mask.

      If you make an error, you can reverse the drawing mode and modify the processing mask.
