TruVision IP Camera Configuration Manual

Note:

1. If you set the display mode as transparent, the text varies according the

background. With some backgrounds, the text may be not easily readable.

2. When you enable motion detection, it is recommended not to select the

flickering display option as overlay text may trigger a motion alarm.

Overlay text

You can add up to four lines of text on screen. This option can be used, for
