About video settings
2. Use the slider to set the Priority between Low motion blur and Low noise. When prioritizing low motion blur (slider
all the way to the right) the camera automatically increases gain as brightness decreases. When the gain reaches the
set maximum gain for low light, the camera will decrease shutter speed until the set maximum shutter for low light is
reached. This is the default priority setting for low light.
3. Select the Max gain value from the drop-down list. This defines the upper limit for gain in the context of normal light.
4. Max fast shutter sets shutter speed limit in normal light conditions. Depending on the scenario, the shutter speed limit
may need to be defined. This is done through System Options > Advanced > Plain Config.

About overlays

Note
The overlay feature is not supported for the quad stream, only for the individual video streams.
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.
About overlay text
An overlay text can include the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, so-called modifiers can be used to
display, for example, the current bit rate or the current frame rate.
You can choose between the following text overlay sizes:

Small
Medium
Large
It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see How to include overlay text in an action rule on page 22.
