Overlay

Overlays can be used to provide extra information and are superimposed over the video image. With overlay text it is possible to
include date and time or view the current bit rate as overlay text.
To include the current bit rate as overlay text go to Video > Video Stream > Overlay Settings, select the Include text check box
option, and enter the overlay code in the field. See the online help

Overlay image

An overlay image can be used to provide extra information, or to mask a part of the video image.
To use your own image, such as a logo, first upload the image to the Axis product. Go to Video > Overlay Image, click Browse to
locate the file and then click Upload. The file can then be selected from the Use overlay image drop-down list.
To place an overlay image at specific coordinates, go to Video > Video Stream and select the Include overlay image at coordinates

Privacy Mask

A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List (Video > 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
for supported formats.
