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 info rmation or to mask a part of the image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regar dless of resolution and digital Pan/Tilt
movements. To set up a d ynamic mask, which will always mask a specified part of the monitored area, see Privacy Mask.
To use an overlay image, the image must first be uploaded to the Axis product:
