About Alarm Overlays 
You can define special alarm-overlay subtitles 
to appear on camera images whenever an 
alarm is triggered externally (hardwired inputs), 
or when motion is detected at each selected 
camera. 
Tip: Alarm overlay text will alternate with regular 
subtitles (of the same subtitle number) until the 
overlay expires. These can also be cleared by 
pressing Ctrl-Alt-Spacebar to return to the regular 
subtitles. 
Also See: 16.1.3 [Subtitle Setter] (Custom Titles 
for Cameras) 
Note: This feature works only in conjunction with 
alarm-based recording (motion-detection and/or via 
an external input for each camera).

Alarm Overlay Setup 
- Camera, and "Use Subtitle": This determines

each camera in turn, and then set (or view) the 
various parameters for each one.) 
Tip: Alarm overlay text will alternate with other 
subtitles (of the same subtitle number) until the 
overlay expires (as per "Post Alarm Display" setting, 
to follow). These can also be cleared by pressing 
Ctrl-Alt-Spacebar to return to the regular subtitles.
