Note:
1. If you set the display mode as transparent, the text varies according the
background. With some backgrounds, the text may be not easily readable.
2. When you enable motion detection, it is recommended not to select the
flickering display option as overlay text may trigger a motion alarm.
Overlay text
You can add up to four lines of text on screen. This option can be used, for
