Enter #x to show the pan position.
Enter #y to show the tilt position.

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
the Axis product and then used to provide extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Image specifications:
• The uploaded image should be a Windows 24-bit BMP image with maximum 250 colors.
• The image width and height, in pixels, must be exactly divisible by four.
• The image cannot be larger than the maximum image resolution.
