Live View > Live View - Camera Overlays

Each channel can display the date/time and a camera name of up to 40 characters as an overlay one the camera's image.

These can be enable/disabled, edited and re-positioned from the Live sub-menu under the Video menu. Just go to Menu > Video > Live. You can see how to so this in the Video Menu - Live section.

Camera names can be changed but the prefix is determined by the camera's video format detected by the DVR. This allows you to easily determine which type of camera each channel is displaying as described below:

•T-CH<n> = TVI Camera

•C-CH<n> = CVI Camera

•A-CH<n> = AHD Camera

•CH<n> = CVBS Analogue Camera

•IP CAM<n> = IP Camera

(<n> = camera number)

Note: To set the name of an IP camera see the Video - IP Channels section.

IP Camera Channel Name

For IP cameras you can also rename the channel number with a new name up to 8 characters long. For example instead of IP CAM1 it could be OFFICE 1. To see how to set this up see the Video - IP Channels section.
