I have multiple Dahua IPC T5442T-ZE cameras working in Blue Iris 5. On every camera I have the Dahua overlay enabled showing the channel title and the time title. When I look at my cameras using UI3, I see the overlays on every camera. When I open Blue Iris 5 and look at the cameras, there is one camera that does not show the overlay. I have looked for possible setting differences in Blue Iris and also in the Dahua web interface. I can't find anything different for this one camera.

Does anyone know what might be wrong with this camera? I'm pretty sure the overlay was visible when I first set the camera up, but now it's vanished. Thanks!

Make sure that one particular camera hasn't accidently zoomed in a bit and thus the overlays is out of the field of view. Select that camera and scroll the mouse wheel.
