Camera Masking by Risk Type
Mask by risk without turning off the view.
Select which IntelliSee risk detections belong to specific camera zones — while the camera keeps running and other configured detections remain available.

The Problem
Known areas can create repeat alerts that do not need escalation.
Every campus has visual edge cases: displays that resemble objects, reflections near glass, restricted but expected motion in one corner, or areas where a specific detection should be ignored while the rest of the camera stays useful.
Broad camera masks solve too much. Mask by Risk is more precise. A team can choose which risk categories belong to a zone while keeping other configured detections aligned to the broader camera view.
The Workflow
Draw the area. Choose the risks for that mask.
The mask editor pairs a familiar polygon tool with risk-level selections, so authorized users can tune nuisance conditions without changing a camera's broader security role.
Pick the Camera
Start from the camera management view, where mask counts and risk labels show which cameras already have rules applied.
Draw the Zone
Outline the specific part of the scene that creates a known false-alert pattern or requires special handling.
Select the Risks
Choose which enabled risk categories the mask should control for that zone while other detections remain available.
Save the Rule
Apply the mask to that camera so the rule is visible, reviewable, and tied to the selected risk categories.
Operational Fit
From broad masking to risk-specific control.
Mask by Risk is designed for teams that need lower false-alert volume without reducing the value of an existing camera view.
Traditional Camera Masking
Blocks the whole area
- Large blocked-out areas can remove too much context
- One nuisance pattern can force a broad workaround
- Useful detections get caught in the same broad workaround as the noise
Mask by Risk
Tunes one risk at a time
- Tie selected detections to a defined zone or mask
- Keep the camera and other configured risk categories active
- Make tuning visible through mask counts and risk labels
Detection Alignment
Built around the risk categories teams already recognize.
Mask by Risk maps to the current IntelliSee risk categories, so tuning uses the same names your team already works with.
Weapon
Visible weapon detection support for enabled cameras.
Fall / Person on Ground
Posture and ground-level risk conditions.
Unauthorized Access
Trespassing and restricted-area activity.
Loitering
Presence patterns that exceed configured expectations.
Crowd
High-density gathering conditions.
Vehicle
Vehicle-related risk visibility.
Cell Phone
Phone-use detection where configured.
Slip Risk
Slip-and-fall risk indicators.
Smoke / Fire
Smoke or fire visual risk indicators.
Precision Note
The goal is less noise, not more surveillance.
Mask by Risk is a configuration workflow for existing camera-based risk detections. It helps teams tune how selected alerts behave by zone without changing IntelliSee's broader product posture — no facial recognition, no video storage, no cloud video processing.
For customers, that means administrators can manage known problem zones while keeping the camera view available for review and operational awareness.
Use Cases
Where risk-specific masking helps most.
Known visual artifacts
Give a specific risk its own zone rule where signage, reflections, displays, or equipment repeatedly create a false-alert pattern.
Expected activity zones
Handle areas where motion, crowding, vehicles, or phone use may be expected during normal operations.
Mixed-purpose camera views
Preserve a camera's broader safety value while tuning one part of the frame for one or more selected risks.
FAQ
Mask by Risk questions.
What does Mask by Risk do?
It lets authorized IntelliSee users draw a zone on a camera view and choose which selected risk detections belong to that mask.
Does it turn off the camera?
No. The camera stays active. Mask by Risk changes how selected detections behave inside a specific zone.
Can one zone mask more than one risk type?
Yes. The editor supports selecting multiple applicable risk categories for a mask, depending on what is enabled in that environment.
Is this available for every detection?
Availability depends on the customer configuration and enabled detections. IntelliSee can help map the workflow to the cameras and risk categories in use.
