Text insertion

machine (ATM) or other systems on the video display of the recorder. The text is saved and
time‐stamped together with the video. You can then search the text for specific video clips. The
text is can be enabled or disabled during live view and playback.
The recorder supports POS and ATM text insertion via text insertion accessories connected to
the RS-232 port of the recorder.

listed.

cash transaction receipt and that is followed by the information you want to record. An
