OSD Text Colour

[andy48]

I have 2 HIKs: DS-2CD-2032-1 & DS-2CD-2632F-IS. Both have On Screen Display set for name and date.

The text switches between black and white depending on the contrast or white balance as can be seen in the sunny/frosty image attached. However, every time a digit switches it triggers an alert on Blue Iris. Is there any way to force the cameras to display always in white?

Sure.
Image | OSD settings tab | Font Colour dropdown | Select any colour you want.
This turns 'self-adaptive' off.

Thanks, Alastair, but I can't find a Font Colour dropdown. Is this because my camera was cheap-ish!

I've just answered my own question - it's because my firmware is old-ish!

I've updated to the latest version and - voila! - the dropdown colour is now available. Thanks
