# Privacy Regions

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).
