# Privacy Regions
Block part of the camera’s field of view from live and historical footage
Privacy regions allow you to block portions of a camera’s view. Areas blocked by a privacy region will be blocked out on the camera’s live feed and historical footage.
{% hint style="danger" %}
The [D80](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-d80-datasheet.pdf) and [PTZ cameras](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/ptz/) **do not** support privacy regions. All other camera models support granular privacy regions (60x60) except for the [D30](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-d30-datasheet.pdf), [D40](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-d40-datasheet.pdf), [D50](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-d50-datasheet.pdf), and [CM42-S](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cm42-s-datasheet.pdf) which support basic privacy regions (10x10).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.verkada.com/verkada-cameras/configuration/security-and-privacy/privacy-regions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
