Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example 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. To set up a dynamic mask, which will always mask the specified part of monitored area, see Privacy Mask, on page 24
To use an overlay image, the image must first be uploaded to the Axis product:
1.Go to Video & Audio > Overlay Image.
2.Click Browse and browse to the file.
3.Click Upload.
4.Select the image to use from the Use overlay image list.
5.Click Save.
To display the overlay image:
1.Go to Video & Audio > Video Stream and select the Image tab.
2.Under Overlay Settings, select Include overlay image at the coordinates and enter the X and Y coordinates.
3.Click Save.
