Operator format to describe actions with the camera is:

Code Block
DoReact("CAM","_id_","_command_" [,"_parameters_"]);

The list of commands and parameters for the CAM object is given in the following table:

FRAME_SKIPPED event occurs in Axxon PSIM if there are frames skipped when recording to the archive. By default, the event is generated if there were more than 50 frame skips during the testing period. When frame skipping stops, the FRAME_SKIPPED_STOP event is generated. The description of this event contains information about the number of skipped frames and the time period in which there were skips. By default, both events are generated no more than once every 30 seconds.

The events are controlled by the following registry keys (see Registry keys reference guide):

  • the FRAME_SKIPPED event can be disabled using the FileSystem.NotifyCoreFrameSkipped registry key;

  • the delay time between the state changes in seconds is specified in the FileSystem.RecordingStateChangeDelay key.
    The minimum value is 30 seconds. If you specify a smaller value, the minimum value of 30 seconds will still be used (the key in the registry will be overwritten);
  • the number of skipped frames for the period, during which the FRAME_SKIPPED event will be generated, is specified in the FileSystem.MaxSkippedFramesByPeriod key
FRAME_SKIPPED_STOPEnd of frames skipping
