Using Overlay Text in an Action Rule

Action rules, see page 33, can display an overlay text when the rule is triggered. The text can be used to provide information for forensic video analysis, notify surveillance operators or validate triggers and actions during product installation and configuration.

To display overlay text when an action rule is triggered, the modifier #D should be used as described below. When the rule is triggered, #D will be replaced by the text specified in the action rule.

Start by enabling overlay text in the video stream:

1.Go to Video > Video Stream and select the Image tab.

2.Under Overlay Settings, select Include text.

3.Enter the modifier #D and, optionally, additional text which will be displayed also when the action rule is not active. Create the action rule:

1.Go to Events > Action Rules

2.Click Add to create a new rule.

3.Select a Trigger and, optionally, a Schedule and Additional conditions. See the online help for details.

4.From the Actions list, select Overlay Text

5.Enter the text to display in the Text field. This is the text that #D will be replaced by.

6.Specify the Duration. The text can be displayed while the rule is active or for a fixed number of seconds.

Example

To display the text “Motion detected” when motion is detected, enter #D in the Include text field and enter “Motion detected” in the Text field when setting up the action rule.

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 > Privacy Mask) shows all the masks that are currently configured 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

Adding many privacy masks may affect the product’s performance.

Note

Privacy masks in view modes other than the Overview mode may appear warped.
