Video archive recording
Axxon PSIM creates and maintains video archives in its own format. SolidStore is a file system developed by AxxonSoft specifically for storing video archives. The key features achieved by optimizing the process of reading/recording:
- provide high read and record speed approaching the physical limit of the hard drive processing speed;
- increase the operational life of the hard drive;
- solve the problem of data fragmentation
Using different video streams
Multistreaming
Axxon PSIM supports multiple video streams received from the video camera, which can be used:
- for displaying on a local monitor and for transmission to remote workstations;
- for recording to the archive;
- for video analytics purposes.
Management of streams in the network
Axxon PSIM implements the digital stream processing functions using the GreenStream technology:
- automatic adjustment of the image resolution depending on the video stream display mode;
- automatic adjustment of the video stream frame rate depending on the network bandwidth;
- paralleling of digital streams using the Videogate module
Video footage management
Smart search in the archive is a search in the video camera archive using video image metadata — the parameters of the objects in the camera field of view, for example, in the direction of the object's movement. You can also search by time, event or a particular camera .Working with the archives
Still frames can be exported to JPG and PDF formats, videos can be exported to AVI, MP4, MKV and EXE .Export and print out
The AviExport utility is used for advanced options for exporting video recordings. Using the AviExport utility, you can change the coding format (codec), set the privacy mask, and specify size of exported files .The AviExport utility
Video analytics
Axxon PSIM incorporates a powerful system for analysis of video images. It includes service video detection tools, Tracker and Face detection.

Enabling, configuring and disabling basic video detection tools
The Tracker object is designed for motion detection and saving video recordings to VMDA metadata storage. Metadata is required for smart search in the archive .Configuring smart video detection tools
Face detection tool recognizes «faces» objects in the controlled zone .Face detection tool
Axxon PSIM can also use data from embedded video camera detectors.
For advanced video analytics, vertical solutions are used — for details, see the Extended functionality section.
Audio
Audio player is an interface object for playing and recording audio, setting up sound notifications and arming microphones. Key features:
- audio surveillance;
- synchronous recording of video and audio signals;
- setting audio recording mode by the Operator's command and using acoustic start;
- export of audio recordings .
...
Events control and processing
The events registered by the system can be controlled and processed. For example, if there is no video image on the camera, the Operator can take the corresponding event into processing and contact the security to check the camera or the administrator to check the connection. The following interface objects are used for event control:
- Alarm notification window — automatic notification of alarming and information events.
- Event log — displays all registered events or events of certain types in accordance with pre-configured filters. For each event, you can show the corresponding video or map with the object.
- Operator protocol — displays not only events, but also a checklist of actions that should be performed during the event processing. You can also assign a type to an event — for example, Alarm.
- Incident manager — in addition to features similar to the Event log, you can also configure flexible scenarios for processing a single event or groups of events .
...
Automatic system response to events
In addition to event control by the Operator, in Axxon PSIM you can program system responses to various events. Macros, scripts and special programs are used for this purpose. For example, you can configure automatic enabling of sound recording when an alarm event occurs.
Since Axxon PSIM integrates all security systems into a single operating environment, the condition for starting the execution of a particular system response can be an event or a chain of events occurring in any of the subsystems, and any subsystem of the complex can be involved in the system response .Programming Guide
