Text Overlays - Camera or BI?

[mark4312]

Looking for advice. My cameras (Hikvision) can do date/time overlays, and so can BI. What do you prefer to use?

you will likely need to use direct to disk record which will not record the blue iris overlay...use the camera overlay.

Hey direct-to-disk is amazing! In the one-camera setup I'm testing, 4% CPU on this Sandy Bridge i5. That's pretty impressive.
