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.
Text overlays are all included
on one line at the top or bottom
of the video image. Image
overlays can be placed
anywhere in the video image.

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 time
as
