Hey,

 

Currently privacy zones are static. That means when tracking is enabled and the camera moves, the zone moves with it. This can then reveal whatever should be hidden.
Thus the two options cant be used together which is a shame.
 

My camera has a Panorama feature which is currently in the beta. In there one can take a panorama picture over the whole horizontal span of the camera and then tap onto an area and the camera will then center on that area. In my mind, it should be possible to use something similar and then instead of defining the privacy zone only on the screen width we could define it at a position on that panorama picture. Then do that in 2 dimensions and voila (obviously easier said than done).

Maybe this can be implemented in the near future, since this is kinda crucial for me. When i use the automatic tracking a person could walk on a street which i would want to block the view too.

Greetings
