Documentation for Axxon Next 3.5.1. Documentation for other versions of Axxon Next is [available too].

The Axxon Next software package enables you to work with virtual video cameras.
This requires running Axxon Next in test mode and consists of imitating a stream of video data by playing an available video clip (recording). You can play video recordings using video compression algorithms supported by Axxon Next (MJPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MxPEG, H.264, and Motion Wavelet).
To create and configure a virtual video camera, complete the following steps:

  1. Add a Video camera object.
  2. Select AxxonSoft from the Produced by list and click Apply.

  3. In the Folder field, specify the storage location of the video clip that will be used to imitate a video signal.

    Note

    The name of the video file and its file path must consist only of Latin characters

  4. Click the Apply button.

The video file in the selected folder will then be played back in a repeating cycle. If the folder contains several files, they will all be played in a random order.
