Example: If there is information in a monitored area that you do not wish to disclose, you can mask it out by placing an overlay image on top. Setting the overlay image anywhere in the video image using coordi- nates allows precision detail masking.
Video Stream
The Maximum video stream time can be set as Unlimited, or a maximum stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours can be defined. When the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the Web browser. Note that the maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.
To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited. Select either Unlimited or define a maximum frame rate per viewer.
