The abbreviations (also called 'symbols') listed in the table below are displayed at the bottom of the camera images. They inform you about camera events and actions as well as errors and display status information.
These symbols are visible in the Live images, the stored images and the event stories. For example, using the abbreviations displayed in the Player images, you can identify the event that has triggered the storage of an image or event story.
Event names are displayed in the lower left corner of the image and indicate the activated events. Symbols are only shown for activated events.
