The Web-server object is used for video surveillance via a web browser and the TCP/IP communication environment. The settings panel of the Web-server object and its description are shown in the figures and tables below.
The Basic settings tab:
№ | Parameter | Method of setting the parameter value | Parameter description | Representation | Default value | Value range |
1 | Identification number | Automatically | Displays the identification number of the Web-server object in the digital video surveillance system with the distributed architecture | Sequence of numbers | - | From 1 and above. Depends on the number of the Web-server objects in the digital video surveillance system with the distributed architecture |
2 | Name | Enter the value into the field | Sets the name of the Web-server object in the digital video surveillance system with the distributed architecture | Latin, Cyrillic and service characters | Web-server | A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters except > and < characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60 |
3 | Disable | Set the checkbox | Sets the state (enabled or disabled) of the Web-server object in the digital video surveillance system with the distributed architecture | Boolean type | Clear | Set—the Web-server object is disabled and isn't used Clear—the Web-server object is enabled and used |
4 | Computer | Select the value from the list | Sets the Computer parent object of the digital system with the distributed architecture, to which the given Web-server object belongs | Name of the Computer objects registered in the system | Name of the Computer parent object | Depends on the number of the Computer objects in the digital video surveillance system with the distributed architecture |

5 | Port number | Enter the value into the field | Sets the number of the port used by the HTTP-server (used for video surveillance via a web browser, including via the internet) | Sequence of numbers | 80 | Any valid unused port numbers. The number of ports is determined by the system administrator. |
Number of connections | Enter the value into the field | Sets the maximum possible number of connections to the Server via the Web-server module. Each request to view the video signal from each camera and each request to control all PTZ devices regadless of their number is considered as a connection | Sequence of numbers | 100 | Any integer. If 0 value is specified in the Video surveillance monitor of the Web-server module, video signals won't be displayed | |
Parallel exports | Enter the value into the field | Sets the maximum allowed number of archive files to be uploaded simultaneously | Sequence of numbers | 2 | From 1 and above. If you leave the field blank, the lowest possible value is used | |
The HTTPS-server group | ||||||

Key | Enter the value into the field | Key for data transmission via the HTTPS protocol | Latin, Cyrillic and service characters | C:\Program Files (x86)\ Axxon PSIM\Modules\SSL\ssl_internal.key | Depends on the location of data encryption key when transmitting data via the HTTPS protocol | |
Certificate | Enter the value into the field | Certificate for data transmission via the HTTPS protocol | Latin, Cyrillic and service characters | C:\Program Files (x86)\Axxon PSIM\Modules\SSL\ssl_internal.cert | Depends on the location of certificate file when transmitting data via the HTTPS protocol | |
Port number | Enter the value into the field | Sets the number of the port used for HTTPS-server (used for video surveillance in a web browser and in the internet) | Sequence of numbers | 443 | Any available unused port numbers. The number of ports is specified by the system administrator | |
Not in a group | ||||||
7 | Default user | Select the value from the list | Sets the user with rights and authority to conduct the video surveillance from the Remote workstation using the Web-server module | Names of the users registered in the system and added to the rights | Not defined | Depends on the number of the users registered in Axxon PSIM |
8 | ECHD translation | Set the checkbox | Enables to use the http requests used for integration with ECHD | Boolean type | Clear | Set—requests used for integration with ECHD are run for the Camera objects on the basis of which the ECHD channel objects are created Clear—requests used for integration with ECHD are not run |
9 | Use NAT address | Set the checkbox | Enables the router address substitution in the ECHD requests | Boolean type | Clear | Set—when requesting the URL of streams via the HTTP API, the IP address of the router specified in the settings panel of the RTSP-Server object is substituted in the response to the request Clear—when requesting the URL of streams via the HTTP API, the IP address of the Server in its local network is returned in response to the request |
The List of cameras tab:
