| TIME/DATE/TEXT STAMP |
TEXT
 |
Any text entered into this field will be stamped onto the live image. Camera location and copyright information are two examples. In addition to static text, the current date and time, as well as internal camera parameters, can all become part of the text on the live image. This is handled through markup characters. For instance, %d inserts the current day on the live image. There is a complete list of markup characters below and a mini reference on the Overlay Properties page itself.
Default: NetCam %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y |

| MARKUP CHARACTER REFERENCE |
| All of the following markup characters can be used in the text overlay. Additionally, any date/time markups (preceded by the % character) can be used to compose the filenames in the FTP configuration, which is very useful for archiving images with unique filenames (based on the current date and time for instance). |
