The list of cameras specified in the configuration panel for the Partition Of Control object determines the cameras whose archive and video can be accessed through the Monitoring PSIM interface objects (see Monitoring PSIM Software Package: Operator's Guide). In addition, this list determines the cameras whose state and archives are monitored by Agent of Control.

Depending on whether the list of cameras has been specified or not, the following situations are possible:

  1. If cameras are specified in the list, Agent of Control works in normal mode: it monitors the state of cameras and their archives. Server of Control receives information about the number of cameras, disks, disk volume, etc.
  2. If no cameras are specified in the list, Agent of Control checks the presence of a Backup archive object in the system and gets information about disks from this object. In this case, Server of Control will receive information only about the disks marked in the Backup archive object. Access to the archive is not performed from the Search in archive interface object during this process.
  3. If no cameras are specified in Agent of Control settings and there is no Backup archive object in the configuration, information about disks is taken from the Computer object; the disks specified for storage of the main archive are taken into account. Access to the archive is not performed from the Search in archive interface object during this process.

In the second and third cases, monitoring is performed of the state of the system (network functioning, restarts, etc.) and disks (their number and free space). The state of cameras and their archives is not available for monitoring.

Note

Creation and configuration of the Backup archive object is described in Axxon PSIM Software Package: Administrator's Guide.

To configure the list of cameras in use, do the following:

  1. Go to the settings panel for the Partition Of Control object.
  2. Click the Cameras... button (1). The Add/Edit cameras window opens.
  3. Move the necessary cameras from the left list to the right list by clicking the and buttons (1).
  4. Select cameras in the list on the right.
  5. In the Keep archive for (days) field, specify the storage time of the video archive in days (2) in the range from 0 to 999. If the value of the parameter is 0, the size of the archive will not be monitored.

  6. In the Gaps in the archive (days) field, specify the number of days on which the video archive is not recorded, because non-working days are taken into account in the working schedule (3).

  7. In the Camera connection date field, specify the date the camera was connected to the system (4).

  8. Click the Set for selected cameras listed on the right button (5).

  9. Click the Apply changes and close button (6). The selected cameras will be added to the list on the settings panel of the Partition Of Control object.
  10. Click the Apply button on the settings panel of the Partition Of Control object.

Note

The ID numbers of cameras and captioners must be whole numbers.

Note

Cameras will be automatically removed from the list in the following cases:

  • The Camera object or its Video capture device parent object is removed from the Axxon PSIM hardware list;
  • The Camera object or its Video capture device parent object is set to Disabled mode;
  • In a distributed configuration, the Camera object is moved to a Video capture device object located on another computer;
  • In a distributed configuration, the Video capture device object, to which the Camera object belongs, is moved to another computer.

 Configuration of the camera list is now complete.
