Attention!

If you set the Log collection checkbox in the app settings (see Configuring debugging in the AxxonNet mobile client on Android OS), and the camera has MJPEG playback format, archive video won't be displayed when you connect to the Axxon PSIM Server. To view archive video, do the following:
