Use Overlay Text in an Action Rule

Action rules, see page 47, can display an overlay text when the rule is triggered. The text can be used to provide information for

forensic video analysis, notify surveillance operators or validate triggers and actions during product installation and configuration.

To display overlay text when an action rule is triggered, the modifier #D should be used as described below. When the rule is

triggered, #D will be replaced by the text specified in the action rule.

1. Go to Video & Audio > Video Stream and select the Imaoe tab.

2. Under Overlay Settinos, select Include text.

3. Enter the modifier #D and, optionally, additional text which will be displayed also when the action rule is not active.

Create the action rule:

1. Go to Events > Action Rules

2. Click Add to create a new rule.

3. Select a Triooer and, optionally, a Schedule and Additional conditions. See the online help for details.

4. From the Actions list, select Overlay Text

5. Enter the text to display in the Text field. This is the text that #D will be replaced by.

6. Specify the Duration. The text can be displayed while the rule is active or for a fixed number of seconds.

Note

To display text in multiple view areas, overlay text must be enabled in each view area.

Privacy Mask

A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prevent users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as

blocks of solid color or blurred image elements and are applied on the video stream. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed using the

VAPIX® application programming interface (API).

The Privacy Mask List (Video & Audio > Privacy Mask) shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and

indicates if they are enabled.

You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, choose a color for the mask, and give the mask a name.

For more information, see the online help

Important

Adding many privacy masks may affect the product's performance.

You can focus the Axis product under Video & Audio > Focus. For most applications, the adjustments on the Basic tab are sufficient.

If required, additional adjustments can be made on the Advanced tab. Before focusing, always click Open iris to open the iris to its

maximum. This gives the smallest depth of field and thus best conditions for correct focusing. Click Enable iris when finished focusing.
