Axxon PSIM 1.0.1 Release Notes

Incident manager

Improved the window for adding multiple events to the Incident handler (the Add button on the Incident handler settings panel):

4. improved the design for logic, priority and timer setting
In the Incident manager, it is now possible to set the minimum and maximum height for a comment in the event handling logic

It is now possible to use an external database for the Incident Server
In the Incident manager, updated the Last comment and All comments columns: now only the first line of the comment is displayed in them, and the full comment is displayed in the tooltip
Updated the Incident handler: now when you select the events for display and processing, you can select any camera events, not just alarms
Added the event Resolution (Canceled or Processed) to the Operator actions report.

Video surveillance monitor

Added the Button functionality to the Video surveillance monitor. The Button is displayed in the Surveillance window of a camera and performs the specified actions when clicked
Now, in the Video surveillance monitor, the Direct3D display mode is used by default instead of DirectDraw
In the Monitor object, added a column with a unique camera identifier (Guid) to the table of the List of cameras tab
Now, the sorting of the cameras list in the Video surveillance monitor function menu (by ID or by name) can be set using the SortCamsById registry key
Now, when activating the archive video from the Map, the corresponding camera name is displayed in the Surveillance window.
Added the Computer column to the window for selecting video cameras in bulk in the Video surveillance monitor. Using this column, you can sort the cameras available for adding
Adjusted the name settings for the final export file in the Export period:
1. if the Default file name checkbox is set, then the resulting file will have the name "<Camera and camera number><Date and time><Video episode number>.avi".
2. if the Default file name checkbox is clear, then the file path becomes editable and you can set your own file name in it.

Event Viewer

Added the SET_FILTERS command to the Event Viewer (EVENT_VIEWER), which can be used in scripts to filter out the events.
Now you can minimize the Event Viewer interface window on the screen. To do this, set the value 1 to the new ShowInTaskbar registry key
Optimized the process of cleaning the database from events older than the specified storage period: now the cleaning starts every three minutes and deletes 100,000 events, starting with the oldest

Videogate

Added a new GateDisableHotStartVideo key that disables the start of retransmission and video recording
Added the START_VIDEO and STOP_VIDEO commands to start and stop the camera video stream and writing to the archive
Updated settings for recording to the Videogate archive

Map

Added events to the Map (MAP):
1. ACTIVATE_OBJECT—activation of the object. The event is received when an object is selected (activated by a single mouse click) on the Map and contains the layer parameter—the identifier of the layer on which the event occurred;
2. OBJDBLCLK—the event is received when you double-click an object on the Map
Implemented display of the moving objects tracks on the Map (displayed using arrows). For this, the DRAW_ARROW command is used, which is implemented in the Face PSIM 1.0.1 vertical solution

SIP-terminal

The configuration of a SIP-terminal can now be transferred to a backup server in case of the connection with the main server is lost (Failover service). To do this, specify the IP address of the backup server in the sip_terminal.config file. By default, the file is located in the <Axxon PSIM installation directory>\Modules folder
Added the support for the PCMA codec.

Registry keys

Optimized system performance when the MemFile registry key value is set to -1 (default):
1. now the statistics displays the buffer size for writing, the limit of which is set in the WriteBufferSize parameter;
2. added the FileSystem.PreAllocateFileSize parameter, which sets the minimum size of the created temporary file. The parameter determines the size of the temporary files that will be created by default;
3. added the FileSystem.WriteBufferMemoryLimit parameter, which sets the maximum possible size of the RAM buffer for the channel before the data from the buffer is written to the archive.
  These improvements are made so that frames are not skipped when recording to archive under high system load
Added the StatusInfo registry key, which enables the recording of detailed statistics (including statistics per camera) about the system every 10 seconds in the video.run log files
Added the CanUseVfwApi registry key for AviExport, which changes the codec used when exporting to avi format (Vfw or FFmpeg)

Other improvements

Added a new SCRIPT_ERROR event for the SLAVE object. This event is generated if the script execution fails
For the API request for receiving video subsystem events http://IP-address:port/web2/secure/events/ added the ability to specify several objects separated by commas in the objectId parameter, and to receive all triggers from objects of the same type

Introduced the new ArchProbe utility, which can help you check the integrity of video archive files recorded in the Axxon PSIM internal format. The utility is located in the <Axxon PSIM installation directory>\Tools folder and is launched in the Command line. In the utility, specify the path to the folder with archive records or to a specific recording. As a result, information on each recording of the specified video archive will be displayed.
Now Axxon Player generates an AxxonPlayer.lh text file, which contains the log of video archive views via the Player
