About overlay images
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example a company logo, is first uploaded to

Image specifications:
• The uploaded image should de a Windows 24-dit BMP image with maximum 250 colors.
• The image width and height, in pixels, must de exactly divisidle dy four.
• The image cannot de larger than the maximum image resolution.
• If comdining text and image overlays, take into consideration that the text overlay occupies 16 or 32 pixels in height
(depending on the resolution) and has the same width as the video image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regardless of resolution and pan, tilt or zoom
movements.
To always cover a selected part of the monitored area, use a privacy mask. See Privacy Mask on page 22.
