Creating and configuring Axxon One Monitor

The Axxon One Monitor interface object is used to view and manage video from Axxon One cameras.

Creating the Axxon One Monitor:

1. Go to the Interfaces tab in the system settings.
2. Right-click on the Screen object, and in the context menu that appears, select Create object → Axxon One Monitor.
   
   

   Note

   The Screen object should correspond to the one on which the Axxon One Monitor will be displayed.

3. The Number and Name fields will be filled in automatically, but you can edit them if needed.
4. Click Apply.

As a result, the Axxon One Monitor object will be created, and its settings panel will open.

Configuring the Axxon One Monitor:

1. Select the created Axxon One Monitor in the tree (1), and in the Monitor drop-down list (2), select the monitor number in the computer's operating system where the Axxon One Monitor window will be displayed.
2. If necessary, adjust the window position of the Axxon One Monitor on the screen using one of the following methods (3):
   1. Set the coordinates and dimensions manually:
      

      Field	Description	Value
      X	Horizontal offset from the left border of the video image	The coordinates of the upper left corner of the interface window, which are expressed as a percentage relative to the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the screen, respectively
      Y	Vertical offset from the top border of the video image
      W	Interface window width	The dimensions of the interface window, which are expressed as a percentage relative to the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the screen, respectively
      H	Interface window height

   2. Using a test window:
      1. Click the X button.
      2. Position the Set dimensions test window where the Axxon One Monitor window should appear.
      3. Click OK. The fields X, Y, W, H will be updated to reflect the position and size of the test window.
3. In the table on the List of cameras tab (4), select Axxon One cameras for display using one of the following methods:
   1. Click All (5) to select all available cameras, which will then appear in the table.
   2. Select individual cameras by selecting them sequentially from the drop-down lists by number or name (6).
      

      Note

      To move down a row in a table, use the down arrow key ↓ on your keyboard. To delete a row, click on it and press Ctrl+Del.

4. Go to the Basic settings tab and set the Main monitor checkbox if you want the Axxon One Monitor to display the control panel from Axxon One:
5. There can be only one Main monitor: if you set this checkbox for a certain Axxon One Monitor object, this option will be unavailable for other Axxon One Monitor objects.
   

   Note

   If you set the checkbox while the AxxonOne.exe process is already running (i.e., the Axxon One Monitor is displayed), you will need to restart the AxxonOne.exe process for the changes to take effect. This can be done by restarting the Axxon PSIM, for example.

6. Click Apply.

As a result, the Axxon One Monitor interface window will be displayed on the selected monitor:

Working with the Axxon One Monitor is similar to working with a video surveillance window in Axxon One. For more details, see Video surveillance.
