In Axxon One, an IP Server object relates to:

  • video capture card;
  • video server:
  • control panel;
  • DVR;
  • input/output module. 

If you configure a video capture card, video server or DVR, each video camera channel corresponds to a 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 Camera).

Note

  • Some parameters of the Camera child objects cannot be changed if the IP server was added in the Keep current settings mode (i.e. with the parameters that were set in the web interface, see Searching, adding, configuring and removing IP devices). To be able to configure these parameters, you need to set the Send settings to device checkbox.
  • The Send settings to device checkbox can only be set for the IP Server parent object. Once you set a checkbox for an IP Server, the checkbox is also set on all its channels and child objects.

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

  1. Quit Client.
  2. Start a text editor and open the Axxon One.exe.config configuration file located in: <Axxon One installation folder Axxon One>\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.
