By default, all ONVIF devices in the system are added as multistreaming (the ONVIF 2.0 driver, see Adding and removing IP devices).

If the camera does not support multistreaming, then the video stream of lower quality will be disabled.

Note

In some cases (for example, if you do not have video from a camera), you may need to synchronize the time between the server and the camera when you connect them via  ONVIF.

Attention!

If you connect cameras via ONVIF, auto focus (AF) and auto aperture are not available

Resolution

Axxon Next offers three resolutions for video from cameras connected via ONVIF: maximum, medium, and minimum.

A description of the resolution levels is given in the table.

IP devices on other subnets (behind a NAT)

By default,  NAT-friendly mode is enabled for cameras connected via the ONVIF driver.

To disable NAT-friendly mode, in the settings  of a camera, select the No value for Overriding IP address.

IP devices which partially support the ONVIF protocol

To connect IP devices which only partially support ONVIF functions to the Axxon Next software package, you must use an ONVIF driver (1) with compatibility mode enabled.

Note

Such video cameras include Hikvision models and early versions of firmware from Sony, Samsung, and others.


Compatibility mode makes it possible to receive a video image from video cameras; however, some capabilities of the Axxon Next software package will be unavailable.
Enabling compatibility mode for a video camera (2) connected using the ONVIF protocol (1) is recommended if the connection settings are correct, but there is no video image.
