Overlay text via param.cgi onto Image

[GSVNoFixedabode]

I've got an old M3005 so have to use param.cgi to update the Overlay Text - that works fine for the live Video stream, but I want to be able to have the same text (external temperature info, updated every 15 minutes) displayed on the captured image in an Action Event (Send Image). Even using #D in the text stream, the sent image only contains the text as at last boot or last event modification.

Is there a way to update the Overlay Text on an Image with dynamic data?

HI @GSVNoFixedabode ,
I am not sure if this API is available for AXIS M3005-V Network Camera (Latest: Axis OS Version 5.51.7.6)

You can try the Dynamic text overlay API for that.

Thank you for that. The dynamicoverlay.cgi seems to be working. For anyone else looking, this (part of a) script worked

...
Site="http://user:password@site/axis-cgi/dynamicoverlay.cgi"
Param1="action=settext"
Param2="text=%20$Inside%20$Outside#D"
echo "$Inside $Outside" > /tmp/temps
/system/sdcard/bin/curl "$Site" -d "$Param1" -d "$Param2" > /tmp/result
...

$Inside and $Outside variables set earlier in the script.
