Text In Image
It is possible to integrate the unit into a system were text information can be stored with relevant
images for review. This would be most useful in a Retail or Finance application were text data
originating from a cash register could be displayed in real time with the video images of the same
Point of Sale.
Note: This menu will only be displayed if ‘Text in Image’ is selected in the System Settings->Features
menu.
Recorded lines per frame This controls how many lines of text are stored on the server, and not how many
are displayed on screen. This allows more data to be saved than is shown.

0 will show the text indefinitely).
