Configuring OSDi Overlays
The
OSDi
(Intelligent On Screen Display) feature allows the camera to show pertinent information as an
overlay within the field of view. Depending on your camera and model, you may be able to define up to three
overlay rules. You can also determine the position of each overlay within the scene.
If using PTZ Preset or Zone overlays, the overlay will use the name of the zone or PTZ preset for the
overlay; ensure you set relevant names for zones and presets.
If using the Current Zone Label overlay, and multiple zones are in the field of view, the camera will display
the labels in order of size, smallest to largest; if all zones in the field of view are the same size, the camera
will display zone labels in order of creation, oldest to newest. If the
overlay will only display the first zone label using the rules above until the zone is no longer in the field of
view.
Note: Optera cameras do not support Zone or PTZ Preset overlays.
