Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example company logo, is used to provide
extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regardless of resolution and Pan/Tilt/Zoom
movements. To set up a dynamic mask, which will always mask the specied part of monitored area, see Privacy Mask, on page 24
To use an overlay image, the image must rst be uploaded to the Axis product:
1. Go to Video & Audio > Overlay Image.
2. Click Browse and browse to the le.
3. Click Upload.
4. Select the image to use from the Use overlay image list.
5. Click Save.
To display the overlay image:
1. Go to Video & Audio > Video Stream and select the Image tab.
2. Under Overlay Settings, select Include overlay image at the coordinates and enter the X and Y coordinates.
3. Click Save.

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 & Audio > Privacy Mask) shows all the masks that are currently congured 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
