3.4 Overlay Properties

The Overlay Properties allow you to edit the text displayed on the

image. After making changes, click the Apply button to save the settings

in the camera.

TIME/DATE/TEXT STAMP

Text

Any text entered into this field will be stamped onto the live image.

Camera location and copyright information are two examples. In addition to

static text, the current date and time, as well as internal camera parameters,

can all become part of the text on the live image. This is handled through

markup characters. For instance,

%d inserts the current day of the month

on the live image. There is a complete list of markup characters below and

a mini reference on the Overlay page itself.

Default:

NetCam %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
