The following are the screenshots of HikVision camera setup.

If you get "Parameter Error" when saving the settings, that means you are not using the right browser with correct plug-in.

The HikVision cameras work best on IE11 browsers, where it will install an active-x plug-in. This plug-in lets you see the live view, and also lets you play the recorded content. HikVision requires that plug-in to be installed to save settings. If you are on Windows 10, just go to run command, and type iexplore.exe to open old internet explorer, and go to your camera URL. It will then ask you to install that active-x plugin.

Also, for the text overlay to work, the authentication for web must be digest/basic.
