Use the PrivacyGuard feature
Depending on
model, your computer might support the PrivacyGuard feature. When
the feature is enabled, it darkens screen and reduces visibility from
side angles to protect screen content against visual hacking. By default,
the PrivacyGuard feature is disabled. You can press F12 or Fn+D to
enable it. You will be prompted by the on-screen icon
or
every time the feature
is enabled or disabled.
The privacy level of this feature varies
depending on the screen brightness level, the contrast ratio, and
the physical environment where you are using this feature.
Automatic PrivacyGuard feature for passwords
Though the PrivacyGuard feature is disabled, PrivacyGuard feature
could also be automatically enabled in case that you are required
to input passwords. By default, this automatic PrivacyGuard feature
for passwords is disabled. You can enable it on the Vantage app.
Note: The automatic PrivacyGuard feature for passwords is not supported
on computers with the Linux® operating system.
Use the PrivacyGuard with PrivacyAlert feature
Glance by Mirametrix® is preinstalled on your
computer. Turn on PrivacyAlert and PrivacyGuard switches
on Glance to achieve better privacy protection.
When someone
is detected looking over your shoulder by the camera (with IR function),
an alert icon appears on your computer screen. Meanwhile, PrivacyAlert
automatically enables PrivacyGuard to prevent peeking eyes. When the
person leaves, the icon disappears and the PrivacyGuard feature is
disabled automatically.
