In the Axxon Next VMS, an IP Server object relates to:

  • video capture card,
  • video server,
  • control panel,
  • DVR, or
  • input/output module. 

If you configure a video capture card, video server or DVR, each video camera  channel corresponds to a Video camera object under the IP Server parent object. 

To configure the IP server parent object, perform the following:

  1. Select the IP server object in the objects tree (1).
  2. Select Yes from the list in the Enable field to enable the object (2).
  3. Enter the name of the IP server in the Name field (3).

  4. Specify the number of the network port (4). The default value is 80.

    Note

    The port number is initially set through the IP server's web interface

  5. Set the authentication mode (5)

    Note

    The login and password for connecting to the IP server are set through its Web interface

  6. Click the Apply button.

The IP server and its video cameras will then be enabled, and the icon indicators for the IP server and video cameras in the objects tree will turn green.

Configuration of IP server channels must be performed separately for each channel (with the help of child objects of Video camera).

By default, you cannot delete child Video Camera objects  from the IP server. To enable this feature, do as follows:

  1. Quit Client.
  2. Start a text editor and open the AxxonNext.exe.config configuration file located in:   <Axxon Next installation folder Axxon Next>\bin
  3. Find the line <add key="AllowIpServerChannelRemove" value="false" /> and change false to true.
  4. Save the changes to the file.

You can now delete camera objects from the IP server.

Attention!

You cannot restore a deleted object. You will need to create the IP server again.
