TIME/DATE/TEXT STAMP

Text

Any text entered into this field will be stamped onto the live image. Camera location and copyright information are two examples. In addition to static text, the current date and time, as well as internal camera parameters, can all become part of the text on the live image. This is handled through markup characters. For instance, %d inserts the current day of the month on the live image. There is a complete list of markup characters below and a mini reference on the Overlay page itself.

Default: NetCam %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
