AxxonData is a local version of the AxxonNet cloud service AxxonNet. and it is used to work in local networks only. AxxonData is compatible with Axxon One version 1.0.4 and with the Axxon Next archive product.

List of supported Windows OS

AxxonData is available in Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, and Windows 10.

Minimum requirements for installing and running AxxonData in Windows OS

To run AxxonData, it is recommended to use we recommend using a computer with a 1.0 GHz processor with two or more cores and 2 GB RAM.

Disk subsystem requirements: 1 GB to install AxxonData and at a rate of 1.5 MB = 1000 events to store the events from the detection tools in the database.

You can use the following formulas to calculate the required space for storing events in the database:

T = E × 60 × 24 × 0.5 ÷ 1024²

where

  • T is a total number of events in GB per day per camera;
  • is an average number of events per camera per minute;
  • 60minutes;
  • 24hours in a day;
  • 0.5coefficient;
  • 1024²—GB.

Required space for D days in GB = C × T × D

where

  • С is a total number of cameras;
  • is a total number of events in GB per day per camera;
  • is days of data storage.

Installation of AxxonData

Note
titleAttention!
  • The local version of AxxonNet cannot be installed together You cannot install AxxonData together with Axxon PSIM, because the CassiniService service is started during Axxon PSIM installation.  This This service runs on port 8081, the same port as the nginx service of the local version of AxxonNet AxxonData.
  • Before installation, make sure that ports 80 and 443 are free in the system. Port 80 is used by the Web-Server by default (see Configuring the Web-Server).
  • You can install local cloud on port 80 or port 8082 using the HTTP protocol. If port 80 is free, then local cloud will be installed on it. In this case, in order to access the cloud via web and add servers to it, it is necessary to provide access to port 80 from client Client devices or from the connected Axxon One Server. If port 80 is busy, then local cloud will be installed on port 8082. In this case, it is necessary to provide public access to two ports: 8082 and 8888.
  • Before installation, make sure that port 8080 is free in the system. By default, port 8080 uses the Virtual input (see Configure virtual inputs). If port 8080 is busy, the domain synchronization with the local version of AxxonNet AxxonData isn’t possible.
  • AxxonData is incompatible with the Failover Server and Client installation type of Axxon One.
  • If Axxon One of the Failover server and client installation type is installed on your computer, you must allocate a separate computer to install AxxonData. You cannot install AxxonData together with Axxon One of the Failover server and client installation type.

If you free port 80 (for example, by changing the port of the Axxon One Wed-Server), AxxonData will be installed on port 80. If port 80 is busy (for example, if the the Axxon One Server is running at the time of installation), you will be prompted to use port 8082:
      If you release port 80 (for example, by changing the port of the Axxon One Web-Server), then AxxonData will be installed on port 80.
