Abstract
Described are a method and system for providing information into a video record from an object in a monitored area. A video image of the monitored area is generated and information is received in a signal transmitted from the object. An image is displayed which shows the information superimposed on the video image. Optionally, the displayed image shows the information at a location in a display that corresponds to a location of the object in the display. The displayed image can include an automatic scrolling of the information overlaid on the video image or an automatic or manual scrolling of the information in a region adjacent to a region showing the video image.
