AXIS 210/211/211A - Configuration
Overlay Settings
Use these settings to include a)
an image as an overlay, and/or
b) the date and time, along with
text of your own.
All the components of the text
overlay are included on one line
at the top or bottom of the video
image. An overlay image can be
placed anywhere in the video
image.
To upload an overlay image, see
below.
Note: If there is information in a moni-
tored area that you do not wish to disclose, you can mask it out by placing an overlay image on top. Setting
the overlay image anywhere in the video image using coordinates allows precision detail masking.
Video Stream
Define the maximum video stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When
the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the Web
browser. For unlimited video stream time, set this value to 0. This only applies to Motion
JPEG.
The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems
on the network. To allow the highest available frame rate, set to 0.
Test
For a preview of the image and overlay settings before saving, click Test. When satisfied
with the settings, click Save. Please note that the preview image will be in JPEG format,
even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.
Overlay Image
An overlay image is an image superimposed over the video image. This might, for example,
be your own company logo.
