ette of predefined colors.
• Background Color: This parameter controls the text background; select a
color from the palette of predefined colors.
• Background Opacity: This parameter sets the text background opacity. The

image area. Such an error message, for example, can report an unsuccess-
ful FTP data transfer, an unsuccessful telephone call or a file server used as
external image storage that cannot be reached.
• Cover Borders: The
Top/Left
option covers the borders of dual images and of
picture-in-picture displays with narrow bars in the defined background color.
• Show Event/Action Symbols: The
Symbols
(one-line display) and
Symbols II
(two-line display) options display abbreviations for events, actions, messages
and recording modes at the bottom of the live image. This is the main source
of information regarding event control and recording activities of your
MOBOTIX camera.
• Level Meter, Level Meter Data: The level meter can dis-
play the values measured by different camera sensors
(PIR sensor, microphone, illumination value, signal input,
event counter, temperature) as a

with trigger value
(vertical white line) or as time-related
Scroll Chart
in the
lower area of the live image. This helps monitoring the
defined trigger values and when fine-tuning is required.
