General information
Creation and configuration of the Camera object is done in the Hardware tab. The objects tree of a camera is generated automatically according to its functions that are integrated into Axxon One (the presence of alarm inputs, relay outputs, PTZ device, etc.).
...
When you have added a camera via the IP Device Discovery Wizard (see Searching, adding, configuring and removing IP devices), you can edit the camera's parameters. The camera parameters are grouped as follows.
Object identification parameters
In the Object identification group, you can enter a camera name and a short name.
...
By default, the short name is a camera's ID. The camera ID cannot be changed, since it is used to maintain the connection with the archive when replacing the camera (see Saving the archive when replacing the video signal device). The short name can be changed, and the added devices will be sorted in the object tree in ascending order of this field. The full name of the video camera in the objects tree is displayed in the <Short name>.<Name> format. You can use camera's short name in hotkeys (see see Notes regarding hot key actions).After changing the short name and restarting the Client, the cameras in the objects tree will be sorted by their short names.
Also, you can disable the camera by selecting No in the Enable field.

Every camera enabled in the system (including analog cameras, see The IP Server Object) is a video channel in terms of licensing (see Axxon One licensing). Disabled cameras are not subject to licensing. If you run out of camera licenses, disable offline/unused cameras. |
Object features parameters
In the the Object features group, you can see the following camera properties:
...
- If you want to interrupt video streaming from the camera to the Server whenever it is not needed, select Yes for Break unused connections (1).
Conditional interruption of video transmission from a camera to the Server, if:- the video stream is not displayed on either Client or Web-Client layout;
- the stream is currently not being recorded into archive;
- the stream is currently not being processed by any detection tool.
- After starting the Client, the default setting is to display video only after the first I-frame (key frame) is received. If the stream comes with a relatively long GOP length (Group of Pictures) or GOV length (Group of Video Object Planes), i.e. the number of P- and B-frames between I-frames in the stream, the video may be not available for a minute. In this case, select Yes for the Low GOP keyframe rate setting (2). This will reduce the waiting time for video by pushing the preceding I-frame that can be stored in the memory buffer on the Server. In some cases, the I-frame will not be buffered, but in most cases this means that it will soon be received from the device.
Authentication parameters
In the the Authentication group, you can set the username and password to connect to the camera.
...
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|

If the camera supports the Digest HTTP-authorization, add the symbol " : " to the last character of the password. |
Video buffering parameters
To enable video buffering on Clients, set the buffer length in milliseconds in the the Video buffering group. This value should be between 50 and 1000 milliseconds. If the value 0 is selected, video buffering is disabled.
Video stream parameters
In the the Video stream settings group, you can see video image parameters (contrast, brightness, color saturation, etc.). When configuring these, you can look up their descriptions in Axxon One interface. For more detailed information, please refer to the camera manual.

You cannot edit these parameters if you added the camera 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. Once you set a checkbox for a video camera, the checkbox is also set on all its channels and child objects. |
Panomorph view parameters
In the the Panomorph group, you can configure fisheye cameras (see Configuring fisheye cameras).
Other parameters
In the the Other group, you can configure the parameters for the devices connected via the RTSP protocol (see Configuring connection of devices via RTSP).
Alternative view parameters
In the the Alternative camera 1 field, you can specify any camera in the current domain that can replace this camera on the layout when it isn't connected.
Geolocation parameters
In the the Geolocation group, you can specify the coordinates (latitude, longitude, azimuth) of the camera location (the coordinates are used when adding the camera to the geomap, see Adding video cameras and changing size of their icons on the map).
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
When you specify the coordinates, only 6 decimal points are taken into account. |
In a special case, when configuring an alarm layout (see Configuring Alarmed cameras layout), in these fields, you can specify the closest cameras this one for the simultaneous display.
