Could it be possible to have a feature to quickly set up privacy masks and/or simple quick way to "turn off" or "black out" a camera on demand.

One of our clients runs a medical training school. We installed Samsung wisenet lite cameras in each classroom. We really want our clients to use DW/NX for their business operations not only for security. With that in mind we have gotten them to use the VMS for employee training and class review to help them to create a better class course.
At some point in the class they want to turn off the cameras for privacy reasons. Currently we just have them unplug the cameras from the POE switch. If it possible to make that as a soft button that would be awesome.

  You can create a group of users with limited permissions to view specific cameras on your system. It can be Live Stream or Archive only or both.

  This way you can leave yourself a privilege to be the only one who has an access to sensitive records.

  I believe the client wants a complete privacy. That is why we recommended to unplug the cameras for such events. But easy to setup privacy mask is definitely something we heard from a few clients already.

  Luckily most cameras have that on camera but having it inside of NX would be pretty cool. For example in the same place where you would be setting up motion masks could be additional option for privacy mask.

  It would be great to have it on NX Witness.

  This is something I really miss at the moment.

  To use privacy masking with a button on/off so that is much easier for clients to use.

  Polygonal privacy masking in Nx would be great. The masking capabilities in cameras from a lot of vendors are really bad, of cause some do it right. But please Nx, do like you did with motion detection. Solve it once and for all inside Nx.
