•Language – select your preferred display language from the pull-down menu. You must restart Nx Witness for this change to take effect.

•Time Mode – when the Client and Server are in different time zones, use this to select whether Server Time or Client Time will apply in Client displays (e.g. Timeline, timestamps in Event Logs and Trail, etc). See "Time Synchronization in a Multi-Server Environment".

•Show additional info in tree – check this box to include the IP address of devices and servers.

•Show aim overlay for PTZ cameras – check this box to enable the alternative UI for PTZ controls, this mode is off by default (see "Alternative PTZ Controls").

•Tour cycle – sets the time, in seconds, that each item in a Tour will be displayed.

•Background Image – toggle this switch to add an image (typically a logo or map of camera placement) that will display on the Viewing Grid beneath all layouts. Once an image is selected, you can use this switch to toggle the background image on and off.
