In Axxon PSIM, you can configure the interface of the Surveillance window: the camera frame color in various states (alarm, armed, disarmed, no frame, no signal), displaying the frames of the Face Detection tool, and also displaying the Video surveillance monitor window on top of all windows.
To configure the interface of the Surveillance window, do the following:
- Go to the Interface tab on the settings panel of the Monitor object (1).

- From the drop-down lists (2), select:
- Alarm: the frame color of the Surveillance window if there is an alarm on the camera. By default, it is red.
- Armed: the frame color of the Surveillance window when the camera is armed and there are no alarms. By default, it is yellow.
- Disarmed: the frame color of the Surveillance window when the camera is disarmed. By default, it is green.
- No frame: the frame color of the Surveillance window when there is no frame from the camera in the Surveillance window. By default, it is black.
- No signal: the frame color of the Surveillance window when there is no signal from the camera. By default, it is grey.
- Screen cache: the background color of the Surveillance window that is displayed when the video from the camera doesn't cover the Surveillance window completely, for example, when the camera proportions are kept.
- Tracker frame color: the color of the frame used to highlight the tracking objects detected by smart detection tools on the video image. See also Configuring smart video detection tools. In addition, you can enable the detection of the frame color depending on the background on which it is displayed using the DrawDetectorColors registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).
- Click the Default button to restore the default settings (3).
- If you want to hide the frames of the Face detection tool, set the Hide capture frames checkbox (4). See also Configuring Face detection tool.
- In order to show the Video surveillance monitor on top of all windows, set the Over all windows checkbox (5).
- Click the Apply button to save the changes.
