POS PSIM includes the following software modules:

  1. The basic version of the Axxon PSIM software package — Axxon PSIM (base);
  2. POS-operations module.

The POS-operations module has the following functionality:

  1. Simultaneous viewing of the video image, the receipt contents and the POS-terminal events in real time.
  2. Simultaneous recording of the video image, the receipt contents and the POS-terminal events.
  3. Creating user queries allowing to search the video archive by receipt contents and by system events.
  4. The module provides user interfaces for the following functional modules:
    1. Monitor module (video and titles display), represented by the Monitor window;
    2. Search by captions module (searching the video database by captions), represented by the Captions search window;
    3. Receipt viewer module (searching the receipts by event), represented by the Receipt viewer window.

The following databases are used in POS PSIM:

  1. Internal database of the server — contains the system settings and the data on registered events.
  2. Captioner — contains the data from POS-terminals.
  3. Receipts database — contains the data from POS-terminals.

Note

By default, the received local timestamp is recorded to the corresponding POS PSIM database without any changes. To convert it to UTC, set the value "1" for the UseLocalTimestamp parameter (see Registry keys reference guide for details. For information about system registry, refer to Working with Windows OS registry).

Database has MS SQL format. A list of MS SQL Server versions, supported in POS PSIM is identical to the list of supported versions by Axxon PSIM.

The POS-operations module uses the Captioner module, which is installed with Axxon PSIM (base) by default. Using the POS-terminal module, the Captioner module forms the receipts database; overlays the video image received from the surveillance camera with the receipt contents; adds the captioning results to the captioner, and displays the resulting video image via the Monitor interface object.

The Search by captions module allows searching the captioners, and the Receipt viewer module allows searching the receipts database. The captions and receipts databases are stored in the folder specified during the MS SQL Server setup, see the information at http://www.microsoft.com.

The video archive is stored in the folder specified during Axxon PSIM (base) setup; see the Axxon PSIM Software Package. The Administrator's Guide document.

The POS PSIM functionality is specified in the psim.sec key file of the Axxon PSIM (base) software platform; see the Axxon PSIM Software Package. The Administrator’s Guide document.
