Axxon PSIM is compatible with IP devices of the following vendors: Axis, Panasonic, Sony, Arecont Vision and others.

Note

The current list of the IP devices compatible with Axxon PSIM and the range of IP device functionalities supported by Axxon PSIM are at the company’s site in the Integration section: http://www.axxonsoft.com/products/axxon_enterprise/core_functionality/integration.php.

Number of IP devices connected to one Server depends on TCP/IP network bandwidth (see Requirements for TCP/IP Network) and functions performed on the basis of these devices. For instance, virtual memory consumption (for video.run process) increases when VMDA detection tools are used (see Configuring smart video detection tools). One camera with a configured VMDA detection tool can use 30-40 MB (depending on camera resolution) of virtual memory. By default, not more than 2 GB of virtual memory is allocated for the video.run process, if you need to connect to one Server more than 25 IP cameras with the configured VMDA detection tools with video resolution higher than 800x600, use 64-bit modules (see the Configuring the use of 64-bit modules).

In some cases, it is necessary to enable the synchronization of the Server and IP device time (if the device supports this setting):

  1. In some cases (for example, if there is no video from the device), when connecting the camera via the ONVIF protocol, it may be necessary to synchronize the time and the time zone between the Server and the device.
  2. For Axxon PSIM operation with the embedded IP device storage, it is necessary to synchronize the time between the Server and the device.
  3. If there is no time synchronization for some IP devices, events of the onboard analytics may work incorrectly in Axxon PSIM.

Specific application features of certain IP devices:

  1. To ensure correct sound recording from Axis IP cameras when AAC audio codec is used, avoid setting the audio stream bitrate at 8 or 12 Kb/s, if the digitizing rate is 8 kHz: the bitrate should be 16, 24, 32, 48 or 64 Kb/s.
  2. To ensure correct sound recording from Sony IP cameras, avoid using G.726 audio codec: use G.711 codec instead.

Attention!

 It is possible to install the up-to-date drivers and codecs, taking into account the changed distributive structure, irrespective of the general Axxon PSIM version update.
