Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example a company logo, is used to provide
extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Use a privacy mask to set up a dynamic mask which will always mask the specied part of monitored area.
For more information about privacy masks, see Privacy Mask on page 28.
