View Areas

A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video stream and PTZ settings.

To enable view areas, go to Video & Audio > Camera Settings and select Enable View Areas.

When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view area size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture, requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.

To add a new view area:

1.Go to Video & Audio > View Areas.

2.Click Add.

3.The new view area appears under Selected view area. Enter a descriptive name in the Name field.

4.Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.

5.A new view area covers the whole image. Use the mouse to move and resize the view area.

6.Select Enable PTZ to enable digital PTZ for this view area.

7.Click Save to save the settings.

To modify a view area, select the view area in the list and modify the settings as required. Click Save.

To remove a view area, select the view area and click Remove.

Tip:

•The PTZ functionality is useful during installation of the Axis product. Use a view area to crop out a specific part of the full view.

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 & Audio > Video Stream > Overlay Settings, select the Include text check

box option, and enter the overlay code in the field. See the online help for supported formats.

Overlay image

An overlay image can be used to provide extra information, or to mask a part of the video image.
