Micromodule architecture

The micromodule architecture of Axxon One video management software allows implementing different video management surveillance system functions as in different operating system processes. Each function is the responsibility of a different micromodule; a dispatcher module monitors the functioning of the micromodules. If a function encounters an error and a process is quit unexpectedly, the dispatcher module automatically relaunches the corresponding micromodule. This does not It doesn't affect the performance of other processes or the functioning of the VMS overallvideo surveillance system overall functioning.

Support for IP devices

Drivers Pack

IP devices device support in Axxon One is provided through the Drivers Pack Module, specially developed by AxxonSoft and regularly updated to support new IP devices.

Drivers Pack allows adding support adding support for new IP devices in Axxon One without having to wait for the release of new versions of Axxon One and without reinstalling the entire system.

See Documentation Drivers Pack.

Multistreaming

Many of today's IP devices can transmit two up-to-date IP devices allow receiving from them multiple video streams with different video parameters and compressed in , for example, compressed by different codecs. Axxon One supports Multistreaming i.e. receiving two streams from a camera simultaneously: high-quality and low-quality, which allows taking advantage of this feature of IP equipment to optimize optimizing the CPU load on the video Server server and the Client client workstation.

See Camera.

GreenStream

The GreenStream feature saves bandwidth and Client CPU resources. It automatically chooses software can automatically select a video stream from a camera to the Server, server and then to the Clientclient, depending on the resolution at which the video is currently displayed on the Clientclient.

See Selecting video stream quality in a Surveillance window (GreenStream).

Embedded video camera analyticsdetectors

Axxon One supports on-board detectors embedded in video cameras. This means that when embedded detectors generate events, Axxon One is notified and can use these events to drive system reactions. Embedded detectors do not the function of built-in camera detectors, which allows receiving the events of detectors' triggering and using these events in further work. Embedded detectors don't burden the CPU of the video Server and make use of uncompressed video (completely bypassing the compressing/decompression process), and therefore provide extra stability server and operate with the uncompressed video stream, which helps to provide extra stability of video detectors in difficult conditions such as poor visibility.

...

Support for fisheye cameras and ImmerVision lenses allows dewarping video from a fisheye camera or camera with an the ImmerVision panomorphic lens to obtain several "normal" flat images with different frame aspect ratios for display on the Client client screen. One of the resulting virtual cameras can be a virtual PTZ camera.

...

AxxonSoft is a member of ONVIF (the Open Network Video Interface Forum), which work works toward the development and promotion of international standards for network security and video surveillance system interfaces. ONVIF is supported in all Drivers Pack versions starting from 3.1.3.

See Features of configuring and working with cameras connected via ONVIF.

Video and Audio detectors

The Axxon One video management software incorporates a powerful system for analysis of video imagessurveillance system has a comprehensive video analysis system. It includes the following video detectors:

...

  1. Noise detector.

  2. Audio loss detector.

  3. Signal detector.

Macros can be set to automatically run It is possible to set rules that are automatically executed when a detector generates an event (on a per-detector basis). Multiple detectors can be combined into complex conditional rulestriggers (individually for each detector) and to simultaneously use detectors of different types.

See Detectors.

Video archive

For storing an archive in Axxon One, you can use both local and network file storage with the SolidStore system , or object storage.

SolidStore

SolidStore is a file new system for reliable video storage to store a video archive developed by AxxonSoft especially deliberately for storing the video archivesarchive. By optimizing the reading/writing process, we managed to achieve three important advantages:

  • Enable Provide high read/write speedsspeed, approaching the physical access speed limit of the hard disk.

  • Increase the service life of the hard disk.

  • Solve the problem of data fragmentation.

...

Cloud archive is an object file system for storing the video archive in cloud storage (for example, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure). Using a cloud archive allows you to reduce reducing the price of data storage and set setting up flexible integration with AxxonSoft VSaaS. According to Amazon, the reliability of using an object archive is up to 99.999999999%.

TimeCompressor

Time Compressor allows the user to set a time range for video footage and get a short video clip of all moving objects in the scene. Objects and events captured at different times are displayed simultaneously in a condensed motion events summary. Time Compressor is especially convenient for viewing large archives that feature a relatively small number of active objectsis a convenient function for quick viewing of events in the archive, which doesn't require the use of speedup playback. When using this function, the user simultaneously sees all objects in the camera's field of view during a specified time interval on the screen. The use of the TimeCompressor algorithm is especially effective for viewing large archives by cameras with a small number of objects in the field of view at a time.

See Compressed playback of archives (TimeCompressor).

Search in Archive

The Axxon One video management software (VMS) utilizes VMDA—a database developed uses the Metadata database that is developed by AxxonSoft for indexing and storing descriptions of observed scenes. Along with video recording, this database allows archiving characteristics of all moving objects in the scene, frame and then uses , based on these characteristics to perform , performing quick searches of the video recordings.

See Search in archive.

Interactive 3D Map

Interactive 3D Map superimposes camera locations on a site map and displays camera views in the same window. Cameras in Video from a camera and a map of the object are rationally combined in one window. All cameras from the current layout are color-coded by current status. Operators can instantly pinpoint where a selected camera is located on the map and identify the corresponding location of interestdisplayed on the map with colored markers, the color of which corresponds to the camera status. By clicking on the video, the operator can instantly determine at which point in the protected facility the interesting event takes place.

Immersion Mode

When enabled, this mode overlays In immersion mode, a translucent video image on overlays the map; fixed , and static objects in the frame (furniture, doors, etc.and so on) are combined with their depictions on the map. This allows easily seeing where a person or car is located and where it is goingfunction visualizes the objects' movement in real space.

OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap support is available in Axxon One. The site map is downloaded from the Internet, and the user selects the necessary area and scale. Additional map data is downloaded in real time , if needed, when zooming in/out or scrolling.

...

Virtual PTZ cameras on the map

The "Virtual PTZ Camera" function becomes available when the map contains at least one fisheye camera. This function allows viewing video from a fisheye camera directly on the map. Click anywhere in the fisheye video shown in a layout cell to dewarp the source video, with digital zoom and click-to-focusWhen you click at any point of the viewing angle sector in the corresponding cell of the layout, the source video is expanded, digitally zoomed in, and positioned to the specified point.

See Working with the interactive map.

...

Axxon One allows you to create custom camera layouts. Layouts can be configured in any way the user wants, and the aspect ratios of Surveillance surveillance windows can be fine-tuned. Editable layouts efficiently fit different This function allows rationally placing cameras with different frame aspect ratios on the same screen, as well as support display of dewarped fisheye camera footageproviding a convenient way to work with images from fisheye cameras.

See Configuring layouts.

Autozoom

Autozoom helps to monitor the moving objects by automatically adjusting the level of digital zoom. Autozoom shows close-in video for parts of the frame that contain a moving object or objects and follows them as they move, just as a movie camera does when taking a close-up shot.

See Autozoom.

Face Recognition

Axxon One includes implements an algorithm for recognizing human faces in a video frame images and subsequent search then searching for them in a the video archive of several cameras at once. You can search by an uploaded photo or by an image of a person's face selected in a video archive frame. The system will return search results display the video fragments from the archive where the searched person is present as search results.

See Face search.

License plate recognition

Axxon One also includes implements an algorithm for recognizing vehicle license plates. The recognized license plates are saved to a database and matched with a video archive of several cameras. If a license plate contains similar characters, the system generates several hypotheses during the recognition. This It increases the probability of a successful search for a particular number in a generated database.
