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.

Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regardless of resolution and Pan/Tilt/Zoom movements. Use a privacy mask to set up a dynamic mask which will always mask the specified part of monitored area.

For more information about privacy masks, see Privacy Mask on page 22.

To use an overlay image, the image must first be uploaded to the Axis product. The uploaded image should be a Windows 24-bit BMP image with maximum 250 colors. The image width and height, in pixels, must be exactly divisible by 4 and cannot be larger than the maximum image resolution. If combining text and image overlays, take into consideration that the text overlay occupies 16 or 32 pixels in height (depending on the resolution) and has the same width as the video image.

To automatically scale the image to the resolution used by the Axis product, select the option Scale with resolution from the Transparency Settings page which is displayed when uploading in the image.

To upload an overlay image:

1.Go to Video > Overlay Image.

2.Click Browse and browse to the file.

3.Click Upload.

4.The Transparency Settings page is now displayed:

-To make a color in the overlay image transparent, select Use transparency and enter the RGB hexadecimal value for the color. Example: To make white transparent, enter #FFFFFF.

-To scale the image automatically, select Scale with resolution. The image will be scaled down to fit the resolution used by the Axis product.

5.Click Save.

To select the image to use as overlay:

1.Go to Video > Overlay Image.

2.Select the image to use from the Use overlay image list and click Save. To display the overlay image:

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

2.Under Overlay Settings, select Include overlay image at the coordinates.

3.To control the image’s position, enter the X and Y coordinates. The X=0 and Y=0 position is the top left corner. If a part of the image is positioned outside the video image, the overlay image will be moved so that the whole image is visible.

4.Click Save.

Use Overlay Text in an Action Rule

Action rules, see page 38, 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.

Q6045-E specifications

Axis Communications Q6045-E is an advanced network camera designed specifically for professional surveillance applications. This camera exemplifies Axis's commitment to high-performance video surveillance solutions, combining cutting-edge technology with robust design features.

One of the standout characteristics of the Q6045-E is its exceptional imaging capabilities. Equipped with a 1/2.8” sensor, it delivers high-resolution video at up to 1080p, ensuring clear and detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera supports a wide dynamic range (WDR), enabling it to capture high-quality images in environments with varying light levels, such as areas that experience both bright sunlight and deep shadows.

The Q6045-E also integrates a powerful 30x optical zoom lens, which allows for detailed close-ups of objects at a distance. This feature is essential for applications requiring precise identification, such as monitoring perimeters, parking lots, and business premises. The camera includes intelligent video analytics capabilities, providing features like motion detection, tampering alarm, and audio detection, enhancing the effectiveness of security measures.

Another noteworthy aspect is the camera’s PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) functionality. It can pan 360 degrees and tilt from -20 to 90 degrees, providing extensive coverage and flexibility for optimal surveillance. This means a single Q6045-E can monitor vast areas, reducing the need for multiple cameras and thus lowering overall system costs.

Durability and reliability are also key features of the Q6045-E. Designed for outdoor use, the camera is IP66-rated and NEMA 4X-rated, which means it can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The built-in heater ensures consistent performance in cold environments, maintaining both functionality and image quality.

The camera is powered over Ethernet (PoE), facilitating easy installation with just one cable for both data and power. This simplifies the setup process and reduces additional wiring costs. Additionally, the Q6045-E supports various video compression formats, including H.264 and H.265, allowing for efficient bandwidth usage without compromising video quality.

In conclusion, Axis Communications Q6045-E is a feature-rich choice for any professional surveillance system, offering high-resolution video, intelligent analytics, robust durability, and flexible installation options. Its innovative technologies make it an ideal solution for enhancing security and surveillance efforts in a wide range of environments.
