Viewing a camera tamper alarm

You can setup the system to alert you when someone has deliberately blocked a camera view, such
as by spraying paint on the lens (also known as anti-masking). You can set it up so that a specific part
of the screen can detect a tamper and thereby trigger an alarm. You can also setup how the system
will alert you to the tamper alarm. You can only setup one anti-masking area on screen.
