Video surveillance systems based on Axxon One can scale infinitely: there are no restrictions on the number of video Servers, workstations or video cameras.

Support for over 1500 10000 models of IP cameras is included, as well as remote access from mobile devices and a web interface. The  Axxon One software package supports  supports touchscreens.

Micromodule architecture

...

Drivers Pack allows adding support for new IP devices 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 video streams with different video parameters and compressed in 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 the CPU load on the video Server and the Client workstation.

See Camera.

GreenStream

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

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

Embedded video camera analytics

Axxon One supports on-board detection detectors embedded in video cameras. This means that when on-board detection tools are triggeredembedded detectors generate events, Axxon One is notified and can use these events to drive system reactions. On-board detection does Embedded detectors do not burden the CPU of the video Server and makes make use of uncompressed video (completely bypassing the compressing/decompression process), and therefore provide extra stability in difficult conditions such as poor visibility.

360 degree camera support

See General information about embedded detectors.

Fisheye cameras and ImmerVision lenses

Support for fisheye cameras and ImmerVision lenses 360 degree camera support allows dewarping video from a fish-eye fisheye camera or camera with an ImmerVision panomorphic lens to obtain several "normal" flat images with different frame aspect ratios for display on the Client screen. One of the resulting virtual cameras can be a virtual PTZ unitcamera.

See Working with fisheye cameras.

ONVIF support

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

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

ONVIF server support

Axxon One has an embedded ONVIF server that you can use to add Axxon One as a video recorder to other software.

With the ONVIF server, you can:

  • Get live video.

  • Access archive videos.

  • Work with external sensors (rays).

  • Work with PTZ cameras (this feature is available starting with Axxon One version 2.0.8).

  • Work with PTZ presets (this feature is available starting with Axxon One version 2.0.10).
  • Use video analytics based on detectors (for example, motion detector or abandoned object detector).

See Configuring the ONVIF server.

RTSP support

Many IP devices support multimedia streaming via RTSP. Axxon One supports receiving such streams without requiring integration of the relevant camera via Drivers Pack.

Support for analog cameras in Axxon One

Alongside IP devices, Axxon One allows you to use analog cameras in your video surveillance system. Analog cameras are more affordable and are well-suited for many installations without high video resolution requirements. In addition, Axxon One allows creating hybrid systems that combine both analog and IP cameras.See Configuring connection of single-channel devices.

detectors

Axxon One video video management software incorporates a powerful system for analysis of video images. It includes the following video detection toolsdetectors:

  1. Tampering detectiondetector.
  2. Motion in area detectiondetector.
  3. Neural tracker.
  4. Object tracker.Pose
  5. detectionHuman pose detector.
  6. Equipment detection (PPE)detector.
  7. Person-based privacy masking.
  8. Fire detection and smoke detectiondetector.
  9. Smoke detector.
  10. Water level detectiondetector.
  11. NeurocounterNeural counter.
  12. Queue detectiondetector.
  13. Visitors counter.

In addition to the video detection toolsdetectors, Axxon One has three audio detectors:

  1. Noise detectiondetector.Silence detection

  2. Audio loss detector.

  3. Signal detectiondetector.

Macros can be set to automatically run when a detection tool is triggered detector generates an event (on a per-detector basis). Multiple detection tools detectors can be combined into complex conditional rules.

See Configuring detection toolsSee Detectors.

Video archive

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

...

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

See Configuring Archives Аrchive.

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 objects.

See Compressed playback of archives (TimeCompressor).

Forensic Search in Archive

The Axxon One video management software (VMS) utilizes VMDA — a VMDA—a database 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, and then uses these characteristics to perform quick searches of the video recordings (MomentQuest2 technology).

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 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 interest.

...

When enabled, this mode overlays a translucent video viewing tile image on the map; fixed objects in the field of view frame (furniture, doors, etc.) are combined with their depictions on the map. This allows easily seeing where a person or car is located and where it is going.

...

The Virtual PTZ Camera function becomes available when the map contains at least one fish-eye fisheye camera. This function allows viewing video from a fish-eye fisheye camera directly on the map. Click anywhere in the fish-eye fisheye video shown in a layout cell to dewarp the source video, with digital zoom and click-to-focus.

See Working with the interactive map.

User Interface

Editable camera layouts

Axxon One allows you to create custom camera layouts. Layouts can be configured in any way the user wants and the aspect ratios of viewing tiles Surveillance windows can be fine-tuned. Editable layouts efficiently fit different cameras with different aspect ratios on the same screen, as well as support display of dewarped fish-eye fisheye camera footage.

See Configuring layouts.

Autozoom

Autozoom helps to monitor 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 an algorithm for recognizing human faces in a video frame and subsequent search for them in a video archive of several cameras. 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 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 an algorithm for recognizing vehicle number license plates. The recognized number license plates are saved to a database and matched with a video archive of several cameras. If a number license plate contains similar characters, the system generates several hypotheses during the recognition. This increases the probability of a successful search for a particular number in a generated database. 

See Search by LPs.

Receiving Events from External Systems

Axxon One includes a new feature set that is capable of receiving events from various external devices and systems — POS systems—POS terminals, access control units, external software, etc.
