The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems on the network.

Overlay/Mask Settings

Overlay/Mask Type

When using an image overlay, select from the following options the type to use:

Configurable areas as pri- vacy masks - up to 3 areas are used to conceal parts of the video image.

Text, date and time overlays

Overlay image

The difference between an overlay and a privacy mask is that a privacy mask cannot be bypassed by accessing the video stream with the help of the AXIS HTTP API, whereas an overlay can.

Selecting the overlay/mask type will display further settings available for the selected type. See the online help for further information.
