Configuring Time Settings
You can set your camera to discover a network time server (NTP) automatically, manually provide the address of your network time
server, or determine time based on the camera’s internal clock.
1. Select General Settings from the System menu.
2. Select your time server setting:
Auto: Allows your camera to discover and synchronize with your network time server (over IPv4 or IPv6).
Manual: Requires you to provide the address of your network time server.
None: The camera will determine time from its internal clock. If you select None, you must also set your time zone. Cameras
that are not synchronized with a time server can exhibit time drift.
3. Click Save.
Customizing the Text Overlay
You can set various informational overlays for video produced from your camera, and you can determine the location of overlaying infor-
mation using the Text Overlay settings. By default, all text overlays are hidden. The text overlays available for your camera are dependent
on your model.
1. Select General Settings from the System menu.
2. Determine the text overlays you want to appear:
Date/Time Overlay: Displays the date and time in the live view overlay.
Camera Name Overlay: Displays the camera name in the live view overlay.

3. Select the display position and format for the overlay from the Position and Overlay Format drop-down menus.
4. Click Save.
Customizing the Image Overlay
You can set a custom image overlay for video produced from your device, and you can determine the location of the overlaying image
using the Image Overlay settings. By default, all overlays are hidden.
1. Select General Settings from the System menu.
2. Choose an image file to upload.
NOTE:
For Spectra HD (D5220 and D5230) and Spectra Enhanced (D6220 and D6230) models, the image file must be a 24-bit BMP.
For Sarix Enhanced models, the image file must be a PPM image with a minimum resolution of 32 x 32 or a maximum resolution
of 256 x 192.
Only one overlay image can be saved to memory at a time. Uploading a new image replaces the current image saved to
memory.
3. Select the display position for the overlay from the Position menu.
4. Click Save.
