Time Settings
If the camera is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network that has time server properties
configured, the camera will synchronize automatically with the time server. If the DHCP network’s time server properties are not
configured or the network does not have a time server, you need to configure the time settings manually.
1. Type the IP address of the time server in the Time Server field. The time server is an external server that uses
Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings.
2. Select the Time Zone option. Select the continent and the region that are closest to the camera’s location from the
Time Zone drop-down menus.
NOTE: If your location observes a form of daylight saving time, the system will automatically change the time on the
associated dates.
3. Select the format in which the date and time will appear from the Display Format drop-down field if you have opted to
show the Date/Time Overlay.
4. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without
saving it.
Text Overlay
1. Configure the text overlay settings:
Background: Set the background color for the text overlay as black or transparent. Text color for the
transparent background can be also customized from the drop-down menu when the transparent background
option is selected.
Content: Seven content options can be selected to display from the drop-down menu: Date/Time, Camera
Name, Camera Name + Date/Time, Custom Text, PTZ Direction/Pitch/Zoom, Event and Current Zone Label.
The blank text field, which is for inputting desired text by users, shows only when Custom Text option is
selected.
NOTE: Multiple content options can display simultaneously.
Content Position: Nine positions can be selected to display content overlays: Top Left, Top Center, Top Right,
Middle Left, Middle Center, Middle Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Center, and Bottom Right. For Bottom Right
position, a warning message appears at the top of the page once Custom Text option is selected and user text
exceeds 60 characters (30 Chinese or Korean characters).
NOTE: A maximum of 4 content positions can be displayed simultaneously.
2. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without
saving it.
