This section describes the On Screen Display (OSD) page, and Alarm Manager page. Use the Video
page to modify the video stream parameters that affect both image quality and transmission
bandwidth. With the settings on the OSD page, it is possible to display text information (for example,
camera name, date/time, etc.) as an overlay on the video. The OSD text will appear on the IP video
streams as well as the analog video output. Use the Alarm Manager page to define rules for camera
alarms from Video Analytics or GPIO.
On Screen Display:
Use the
OSD
page to turn on and configure the On Screen Display (OSD)
options. It may be desirable to display text information (such as the name of the camera or the date/
time) as an overlay on the video image. The OSD configuration page allows selected camera-related
information to be displayed in the analog video and in the IP video streams.
For example, the
Label
can display the Friendly Name (configured on the Product Info page), the
Hostname (configured on the LAN Settings page) or a Custom text string (using the Text parameter
after selecting Custom).
Each text string can be controlled with the following parameters:
• State (on or off)
• Location (preset location or a Custom X and Y Location)
The OSD text will appear on the IP video streams as well as the analog video output.
