Axis 210 Network Camera 10-pack 0197-024 Manuale Utente

Include date, time and/or text of your choice to be viewed on the image. The color of the 

text may be set to white or black, while background color may be set to white, black, 

transparent or semitransparent. The position of the text is set either to the top or the 

bottom of the image.

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 Web 

browser. For unlimited video stream time, set this value to 0. This setting is only applicable 

to Motion JPEG.

The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems 

on the network. 

To preview the image before saving, click Test. Note that the preview image will be in 

JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.

Overlay/Mask Settings

Overlay/Mask Type

When using an image 

overlay, select from the 

following options the type to 

use: 

• Uploaded image as overlay 

- usually used to provide 

extra information in the 

video image. 

• Configurable areas as pri-

vacy masks - up to 3 areas 

are used to conceal parts 

of the video image.

The difference between an overlay and a privacy mask is that a privacy mask cannot be 

bypassed by accessing the video stream with the help of the AXIS HTTP API, whereas an 

overlay can.

Selecting the overlay/mask type will display further settings available for the selected type. 

See the online help for further information.
