Create and configure the Camera object as follows:

  1. In the context menu of the Video capture device object, select Create object → Camera.


  2. As a result, the basic settings panel of the object will be displayed.

    Note

    Basic settings are specified automatically. It is possible to change the ID, object name and parent object.

  3. Click the Apply button to create the object.
  4. In the objects tree (1), select the created Camera object.
  5. Configure the created object:

    1. In the Channel number list (2), select a physical video output of the card to which the camera is connected (see Features of video subsystem configuration).

      Note

      Channel numbers within one Video capture device object must not be repeated.

    2. In the Resolution list (3), select the resolution with which video signal will be captured: Standard—minimum accepted value for the card, High—mean value, and Full—maximum accepted value.

      Note

      Resolutions supported by video capture cards are given in Appendix 4. Technical specifications of video capture cards.

      When configuring the video camera which is connected through the SC590N4 video capture card, in Axxon PSIM, the frame resolution should be set as the resolution set on the video camera. Otherwise, artifacts can appear on the video image.

      If Stretch VRC-6404 HD video capture card is used, then restart Axxon PSIM after changing resolution.

      Note

      Changing the Resolution doesn't guarantee that the resolution of the received video signal will change, as it depends among other things on the internal settings of the camera itself. If you need to specify certain streams strictly, it is better to configure multistream video.

    3. Click the Apply button to save the changes

Configuring the Camera object is completed.

Repeat these steps for all cameras connected to the card.

Note

Number of the Camera objects that can be created on the basis of one Video capture device object is specified in Features of video subsystem configuration.

Note

Detailed description of all settings of the Camera object is given in Administrator's Guide.
