To save a frame, select the following in the functions menu of the surveillance window: Export → Save frame → Scale (100%, 30%, 10%). Here, the percentage defines the amount of video compression:

  • 100%—lossless compression. Frames are stored in BMP format;
  • 30%—stronger (lossy) compression. Frames are stored in JPEG format;
  • 10%—strongest (lossy) compression. Frames are stored in JPEG format.

The file containing the saved frame is saved by default in the C:\Users\%current username%\Documents\Axxon PSIM\export\ directory. The file name is generated as follows: <camera number> (<date> <time>). For instance, 02 (03-10-07 16'28'06).jpg. The path to the folder for saving the frame can be changed in the Tweaky.exe utility (see The Settings panel of the Axxon PSIM section).

Note

If the additional information was specified while configuring the camera (see Administrator's Guide), then the file is named in another way: <number of the camera> <additional information> (<date> <time>). For example, 02 Information (03-10-07 16'28'06).jpg.

If captions are added to the video image (see Configuring the captions showing), they will be present in the exported frame. The caption size is set on the Captioner object settings panel and may change during export if the frame resolution is reduced. To enable adaptive title size, use the ExportFontAdaptive registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).
