Camera Management: OSD
The Camera Management: OSD menu is where you can
configure the on-screen display for the display name,
display date, date format, time format and font size.
Camera Name: Select a name for the camera you've
selected. By default, all channels are named as the Camera
No. field, but this can be set to anything you'd like up to 32
characters.
Display Name: Whether the name of the camera will be
part of the OSD information. This is entirely optional, and
depends on your preference.
Display Date: Whether the current date will be part of the
OSD information. We strongly recommend leaving this box
checked, and ensuring that the date is correct! For best results,
use NTP (see "Configuration: Network: NTP" on page 21).
Display Week: Whether the current day will be part of the
OSD information. We strongly recommend leaving this box
checked, and ensuring that the date is correct! For best results,
use NTP (see "Configuration: Network: NTP" on page 21).
Date Format: How you'd like the date to be displayed. We
strongly suggest setting this to the default standard for
your locale. For example: MM-DD-YYYY for the USA or DD-
MM-YYYY for the UK or Australia.
Time Format: Choose between 12-hour and 24-hour time.
Display Mode: How you would like the OSD to be
displayed. Bear in mind that some OSD settings (such as
Transparent and/or Flashing) are harder for a video forger
to impersonate or modify than other settings - on the other
hand, they're harder to read. Select the best setting for your
circumstances - it's worth having a look at a few settings to
see what options are available.
OSD Display Position: The inset OSD position window
allows you to set the exact positions of any overlaid text,
such as the camera name and the date and time.
Simply select any item you want to move (such as the
Channel Name and/or the Date and Time) and click and
drag it to the position you'd like it to be.
