AXIS 214 PTZ

Overlay Settings

Use these settings to include:

a) an image as an overlay

b) the date and time, along with text of your own.

It is possible to define the position and color of the

text and the background.

Text overlays are included in one

line at the top or

bottom of the video image. Image overlays can be

placed anywhere in the video image.

See Overlay Image below for instruc

tions on how

to upload an overlay image to the AXIS 214 PTZ .

Video Stream

Define the maximum vide

o stream time per

session in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set

time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the browser.

Define the maximum fram

e rate (fps - frames per second) allowed for each viewer, to avoid bandwidth

problems on the network.

Test - For a preview

of the image and overlay settings before saving, click Test. The Brightness setting does

not affect the Test image. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Please note that the preview image

will be in JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.

Overlay Image

An overlay image is an image included in the video image. Follow these instructions to upload and use an

overlay image:

1. Go to Se

tup > Video & Image > Overlay Image.

2. To upload the image to the AXIS 214 PTZ, click the Browse button and locate it on your computer

or server.

3. Click the Upload button and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. The image is now available in the Use overlay image drop-down list.

5. Click Save.

6. Go to Setup > Video & Image and modify the parameters under Overlay Settings.

Overlay image requirements:

• The maximum overlay image size

supported by the AXIS 214 PTZ is the same as the maximum

image resolution. See Technical Specifications, on page

44.

• 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 and

more space, i.e., 16 pixels in height at 640x480, 32 pixels at 320x240 and 64 pixels at 160x120.

Please see the online help for more information.
