Camera Management: OSD (On-screen Display)

Camera Name: Select a name for the camera you've selected.
By default, all channels are named as the Camera No. field, but
this can be set to anything you'd like up to 32 characters.
Display Name: Whether the name of the camera will be part
of the OSD information. This is entirely optional, and depends
on your preference.
Display Date: Whether the current date will be part of the
OSD information. We strongly recommend leaving this box
checked, and ensuring that the date is correct! For best results,
use NTP (see Configuration: Network: NTP - page 39).
Display Week: Whether the current day will be part of the OSD
information. We strongly recommend leaving this box checked,
and ensuring that the date is correct! For best results, use NTP (see
Configuration: Network: NTP - page 39).
Date Format: How you'd like the date to be displayed. We
strongly suggest setting this to the default standard for your
locale. For example: MM-DD-YYYY for the USA or DD-MM-
YYYY for the UK or Australia.
26
Time Format: Choose between 12-hour and 24-hour time.
Display Mode: How you would like the OSD to be displayed.
Bear in mind that some OSD settings (such as Transparent and/
or Flashing) are harder for a video forger to impersonate or
modify than other settings - on the other hand, they're harder
to read. Select the best setting for your circumstances - it's
worth having a look at a few settings to see what options are
available.
OSD Display Position: The inset OSD position window allows
you to set the exact positions of any overlaid text, such as the
camera name and the date and time.
Simply select any item you want to move (such as the Channel
Name and/or the Date and Time) and click and drag it to the
position you'd like it to be.
