As a rule, IP devices allow processing one or more video signals depending on the type of the device in use.

Note.

Axxon PSIM does not support IP devices over https protocol. For more details about transport protocols, see Changing the transport protocol used by IP-device.

Every IP device used for video input is registered in Axxon PSIM by creating and configuring the Video capture device object. The Video capture device objects are created in the Hardware tab on the basis of the Computer object.

When the Video capture device objects are created, the following parameters must be set for every IP device:

  1. From the Type drop-down list (1), select the IP device vendor.

  2. If the model and firmware should be detected automatically, go to step 3. The Model and Firmware fields will be filled in automatically after the connection settings are applied.
    To select the model and firmware manually, do the following:

    1. From the Model drop-down list (2), select the IP device model.

      Note.

      If the required model is not in the list, it is not integrated. Consider connecting IP device via one of the standard protocols.

    2. From the Firmware drop-down list (3), select the firmware on the device.
  3. In the IP address field (4), specify the network address assigned to the IP device. Information on how to assign IP addresses is given in Assigning network addresses to IP devices.

  4. In the Port field (5), specify the port number (TCP/IP) used for video transmission.

    Note

    In some cases you might also need to specify the RTSP port—see Features of configuring ONVIF or Hikvision IP devices behind NAT.

  5. To log in the Web server of the IP device, enter the corresponding data in the Name and Password fields (6).

  6. If you want to use the settings configured with the help of the Web server or another software of the IP device, set the Use device settings checkbox (7). In this case, the overlapping settings configured on the settings panel of the Camera object will be ignored.

    Note

    If video camera settings specified with the help of the IP device software are not used in Axxon PSIM or used partially, then clear the Use device settings checkbox and configure a video camera on the settings panel of the Camera object.

  7. Click the Apply button.

After logging in Axxon PSIM, the values corresponding to the numbers of the connection channels of the video cameras to the IP device should be given to the Channel number parameters of the Camera object.

Note

Set the 1 value for the Channel number parameter when configuring the IP camera. Otherwise, the IP camera will not operate.
