Use these settings to include a text, date
and time overlay.

Define the maximum video stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When
the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the browser.
For unlimited video stream time, select the Unlimited radio button. Note that the
maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.
The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems
on the network. To allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio
button.
For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click
Save. Please note that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings
are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.
