Adding Text and Image Labels to your Camera
You can add labels in the form of text, date and time, and image. Text and time labels help you to specify information about the location being surveyed by the camera and when a particular event has occurred. Adding images are useful when you want to add a logo of a company in a recording, photo or in a camera view.
To add text and/or image to your recordings, click Add Camera >> Labels.
