You can overlay images over the upper-right, upper-left, and over the top area (as a banner advertisement) of your webcam using our Dashboard Media Manager. Additionally, you can set destination URLs for each, so when clicked, the user is sent to the web site of your choice.

Have a look at your webcam to ensure that your banner ads and logos look and behave the way you want them to!
Note: Any logos or banners that are uploaded will be available to be used on any of your webcams, so you only need to upload a logo or banner ad once.
Note: When an image is deleted from the Manage Images section, automatically remove it from any cameras where it is used as a logo, banner, poster, or similar.
