The Burnt-In Annotation feature of the MEGApix® IVA/IVA+™ camera series can be enabled to overlay the secondary stream of camera video. These annotations can be used to include labeling of tracked objects, counters, and system messages.
This article will outline how to enable the Burnt-In Annotations feature to display in the camera’s secondary video stream.

To enable Burnt-In Annotations:
Under the Burnt-In Annotation section, set Activation to ON.
**NOTE: The Main Stream cannot be selected for annotations. The stream must be set to a resolution lower than 1920x1080p.
Once the annotations have been defined and applied, viewing the specified video stream will allow you to view the IVA/IVA+ Burnt-In Annotations.
**NOTE: The Calibration feature can be used to adjust the object parameters such as speed, height, area, and classifications that display as annotations.
