Overlays

About overlays
Overlays are superimposed over the video stream. They are used to provide extra information during recordings, such as a timestamp,
or during product installation and configuration.
How to display the pan or tilt position as a text overlay
It may be useful to retrieve, for instance from a recorded video, the pan or tilt position in degrees in which an event has taken place.
This can be obtained by including the position in the image as a text overlay, using a so-called modifier.
1. Go to Settings > Overlay.
2. In the text field, enter #x to show the pan position.
Enter #y to show the tilt position.
3. Choose alignment, text size and appearance.
4. Include the text overlay.
5. The current pan and tilt positions show up in the live view image and in the recording.
