Video date/time overlay appearing on motion?

[Rockford622]

I have 2 Dahua cameras that I use for LPR duty and have the video overlay checkbox turned off (always have). These cameras only record on motion. Live video displays properly, no date/time overlay. When motion is detected, suddenly BI puts the date/time in the lower right corner (where it should be, if the checkbox was checked) of the image. 1st image shows live view, 2nd shows motion detected view and 3rd is the settings for this camera. What could be going on here?

Did you just update BI - this was an issue posted in another thread and some had to re-check the direct-to-disk saving option to get the overlay gone or revert back a version.

Looks like you are using UI3 and for some it is showing there now.

How to disable BI's overlay playing back D2D?

Currently on BI 5.3.6.5. OK, it's great that the BI now adds overlay metadata to D2D recordings, so that it CAN add overlay info on playback, if needed. In the BI console, one can disable 'Add text/graphic overlays from direct-to-disc BVR', but how to disable this in UI3? UI3 does not seem to...

Go into "Edit" on "Display Overlays" on the video config tab and delete the date and time from there. If you don't want date and time appearing on the recording, which would probably be a good idea to have in the recording, go into "Webcast" and shut it off there as well.

Yep, and apparently this is a new feature. It's taken care of now as I have turned it off for each camera on the Webcast tab. I have each camera add the date/time so having BI do it for me is unnecessary. Thank you!

Thank you, got it all sorted out. Nice feature, but I have each camera put it's own date and time in the video.

Same here, but the recent updates record meta data, like date and time, in the BVR recording. Sort of a hidden gottcha.
