Before you install Axxon Next:

•  Establish the connection between each server and a UPSEnsure Servers are connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
•  Install all the latest Windows service/update packs.
•  Synchronize the system time with world time and specify the correct time zone.
•  For each Server, specify a unique Windows hostname.
•  Specify a new password for the account of local administrator.
•  Synchronize the time of all Servers and IP devices.
•  Create another administrator account for backup. Specify a password for it.

...

•  Сhange root password (see Working with users).
•  For server Server only: add auto-logout after 1 hour (see Configuring automatic exiting and locking of the Client).
•  Create the archive before adding cameras (see Creating archives).
•  Activate the licenses (see Creating an activation request, Activation by applying license file).

...

•  Connect the cameras to the serversServers.

  2. Low quality stream settings should be lower than the High quality stream.
•  Codec type: do not use MJPEG*.
•  FPS: Low quality stream fps >= 6.
•  Resolution:
  1. Aspect ratio should be the same for Low and High quality streams*.
  2. Low quality stream resolution >= 640x360.
  3. Low quality stream resolution <= 1280x720.
•  Bitrate:

  1. Recommended type*: VBR + limit.

  2. Recommended bitrate: 1 mbps per 1 MP.

  3. Critical: >2 mbps per 1 MP.
