How to Set Zones and a Mask X and Y

[gniknalu]

For those who maybe new to this - here is the easy way to get your Zone and Mask X and Y coordinates.

1. Open VLC. (What? You don't have it installed? Well get busy!)
2. In VLC, click on "Media" --> "Open Network Stream"
3. Put in your rtsp connection string where it says, "Please enter a network URL"
4. Click "Play"
5. With the stream open, go to the "Video" menu and choose "Take Snapshot"

It will save the snapshot to the location of your choice. For me, it's in the "Pictures" directory.

Then, in your editor of choice, you should be able to get the X and Y coordinates.

Suggestion: Use Irfanview. It will display the coordinates of where you click within the picture in the upper left corner.
