Camera brand

The list of vendors of IP cameras and video capture cards integrated with Axxon Next and Axxon Intellect Enterprise. In addition to brand names there are the following items in the list:

!Onvif. Select it if you plan to use a camera that operates via the OnVif ONVIF protocol.

!RTSP. Select it if you plan to use a camera that transfers video via RTSP protocol.

!Undecided. Select it if you are not sure what camera model will be in use.

Activity

Approximate estimation of activity in the field of view of a camera: low, middle or high.

Available values: Extremely low, Low, Middle, High.

Note 1. Apply the following principles with VMDA detection tools: if the camera is installed so that an average of 3 objects is present simultaneously in the frame, select High. If there are 2 objects in the frame at the same time, select Middle. If only 1 object is present in the frame, select Low. Extremely low activity corresponds to the objects occasionally appearing in the frame.

Note 2. In other cases, the average (middle) activity means a scene with 30% changes in the frame and an average number of small moving details. The high activity corresponds to a scene with more than 70% of changes in the frame and a large number of small moving details.

ResolutionVideo resolution. The list of available resolutions depends on the selected vendor or the model of video capture card.

Codec

Compressor used by camera or video capture card for compressing video stream. The availability of compressors in the list depends on the selected vendor or the model of video capture card.

FPS

Frame rate of the stream. The range of values depends on the selected vendor or the model of video capture card.

Bitrate

The stream from one specified camera in Mbit/s. By default, the stream calculation is based on the constant bitrate (CBR) recommended for specified resolution (for h264 codec). For other codecs, the default stream is calculated based on the average data obtained from testing the cameras by the ITV | AxxonSoft quality control department. If the calculated flow is not correct, it is possible to specify the stream from one camera manually.

The Vendor’s calculator is used for more accurate calculation. The list of known calculators can be found in the Vendor’s calculator dropdownlist.

Stream types

Selection type of stream.

Note. When calculating the Client, only the streams that are intended for View are taken into account. When calculating the Server, all streams are taken into account.
