Overlay image requirements:
Overlay image limitations:
• The maximum overlay image size supported by the AXIS 240Q is the same as the max-
imum image resolution. See Technical Specifications, on page 51.
• When a text overlay is also used, this reduces the amount of space available to the
overlay image. To keep the text readable at lower resolutions, the text overlay occupies
proportionally more of the image at lower resolutions.
• If the overlay is initially positioned so that part of it is outside the video image, it will
be relocated so that it appears over the video image, i.e. it is always the entire image
that is displayed.
Please see the online help for more information.
Use a Privacy Mask
To use privacy masks to hide different areas of the video image:
1. Select Configurable areas as privacy mask in the drop-down list for
Overlay/Mask Type. New options appear.
2. Enter the (x,y) coordinates of the top left hand corner of the mask, and the height
and width to define the masks’ placement and size.
3. Select the privacy masks’ color: black, grey, white, or red.
4. Click in the box beside Enable to enable one or more of the masks you have
defined and click on Save.
Please see the online help for more information.
