Previous page Video subsystem  The Analytics Subsystem Next page

The audio subsystem encompasses all the tools that provide for the collection of audio data, its processing, and its storage on media.

Audio data comes in from microphones which are either linked to video cameras (only for video cameras connected to IP servers) or physically connected to video cameras (embedded and external microphones).

Note

The indicator that a microphone is linked/physically connected to a video camera is that it will be a child of the video camera object

Audio data is processed both automatically by the analytics subsystem and manually by the operator. Depending on the task, the results of the audio data processing are transferred to and utilized by other subsystems of the software package, including the event registration subsystem, the notification subsystem, and others.

The Microphone system object enables the functions of the audio subsystem. You can access these functions through the Viewing tile context menu.

Thanks to Axxon Next's audio subsystem, the user can utilize the following functions:

  1. Listening to audio from a microphone linked to a video camera while simultaneously viewing video images from that camera
  2. Recording to archive (video and audio streams are written to the same file)
  3. Simultaneous playback of the video and audio recordings of an event
  4. Using any client to listen to audio from all servers over TCP/IP
