KL13: If enabling “burnt-in metadata overlay” and “text overlay” on firmware 8.20 with APD 2.3.2, does not work, please follow the instructions below. 1) On the cameras GUI access System>Plain Config>Image>Image I0 Text and set 'String' (if not set already) and 'Text enabled' to the parameters below. Do not forget to save the settings. String: %X Text enabled: "just tick the box" (It is also possible, to enable the legacy text overlay using the following VAPIX command: https://camera-ip-address/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=update&root.Image.I0.Text.TextEnabled=yes). 2) Restart the ACAP on the camera, either through the camera GUI, or through the APD application. 3) Optionally, you can also remove the new dynamic text overlay if set or converted during the upgrade to firmware 8.20.
