a) an image as an overlay, and/or
b) the date and time, along with text of your own.
Text overlays are all included on one line at the

can be placed anywhere in the video image.
See Over
lay Image, on page 16 for instructions on
how to upload an overlay image to the AXIS 214

session in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set
time has expired, a new stream can be started by
refreshing the page in the browser.
Define the maximum fram

problems on the network.

Overlay Image
An overlay image is an image included in the video image. Follow these instructions to upload and use an
overlay image:

etup > Video & Image > Overlay Image.
2. To upload the image to the AXIS 214 PTZ, click the Browse button and locate it on your computer or
server.
3. Click the Upload button and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. The image is now available in the Use overlay image drop-down list.
5. Click Save.
6. Go to Setup > Video & Image and modify the parameters under Overlay Settings.
Overlay image requirements:
Overlay image requirements:
• The maximum overlay image size supported
by the AXIS 214 PTZ is the same as the maximum image
resolution. See Technical Specifications, on page
42.
• When a text overlay is also used, this reduces the amount of
space available to the overlay image. To
keep the text readable at lower resolutions, the text overlay occupies proportionally more and more
space, i.e., 16 pixels in height at 640x480, 32 pixels at 320x240 and 64 pixels at 160x120.
• If the overlay is initially positioned so that part of it
is outside the video image, it will be relocated so
that it appears over the video image, i.e. it is always the entire image that is displayed.
Please see the online help for more information.
Image Formats Image Size
• Windows 24-bit BMP (full color)
• Windows 4-bit BMP (16 colors)
The height and width of the overlay image in
pixe
ls must be exactly divisible by 4.
