AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Video & Image Settings
Selecting the overlay/mask type from the menu will display further settings available for
the selected type. See the online help for further information.
Note:
If you need to see an area of the video that is covered by an overlay or mask, a privacy mask cannot be
bypassed. An overlay image, however, can be bypassed with the help of the AXIS HTTP API.

Overlay image requirements:
Overlay image limitations:
• The maximum overlay image size supported by the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A
is the same as
the maximum image resolution. See Technical Specifications, on page 65.
• When a text overlay is also used, this reduces the
amount of space available to the
overlay image. To keep the text readable at lower resolutions, the text overlay occupies
proportionally more of the image at lower resolutions.
• If the overlay is initially positioned so that part
of it is outside the video image, it will
be relocated so that it appears over the video image, that is, it is always the entire image
that is displayed.
Image Formats Image Size
• Windows 24-bit BMP (full color)
• Windows 4-bit BMP (16 colors)
The height and width of the overlay image in
pixels must be divisible by 4.
