[1] Privacy Mode disables both audio and video, for live streaming as well as local recording; while active, the camera only sends a Privacy Mode logo when a live stream is requested. This mode is typically used when the wearer enters a restricted or private area, or is handed confidential documents. It can also be allowed or disallowed for a device from the web interface under Configuration > System.
