This is the number of lines that will be displayed in live and replay using the OSD (On-Screen Display) on the
main monitor, along with the relevant images. The default setting is 20 lines.

This identies the length of the lines that will be stored with the image. The default setting is 50 characters,
which is generally the full screen.

It is possible to select which colour the text from the peripheral serial device will be displayed within the image.
The options are; Black, White, Yellow, Magenta, Red, Cyan and Green.
Text Background
A background can be applied to the text within the image. This is disabled by default. The options available are;
Black or White.
Min Text Display
This allows the text display on the selected camera to be setup for viewing in full, quad or multiscreen display.
This ensures that if the selected camera is being viewed in any of the selected screen formats then the text data
will be available for viewing, but for smaller segments text will be disabled for clarity.
Event Trigger
The text on each camera input can be used to generate an event (alarm). This can be generated by receiving any
text characters, or specic keywords that have been entered as seen below. Triggered text events can be listed
in the Event Log as though they are alarms or activity detection. The default setting is for no event triggering.
The system can have up to 32 user dened keywords, each camera can use any keyword to trigger an event.
Each keyword can have a maximum of 20 characters.
Enable the Event Trigger option and select ‘Keyword’ as the Event Trigger option and select the ‘Edit’ button to
the Keyword menu.
