Configuring the Video capture device object for integration with Axxon Next via ONVIF

There are two options for configuring the Video capture device object to receive data from Axxon Next: using the Camera discovery tool (the preferred option) or creating an object in the Hardware objects tree. Both options are described below.

Using the Camera discovery tool

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box. In the objects tree, select the Computer object corresponding to the Server, for which you want to configure the connection with Axxon Next (1).

2. Click the Camera discovery tool button on the settings panel of the selected object (2).
   
   

   As a result, the Ip Wizard window will open.

3. In the Add device manually section:

   1. In the IP address field, enter the IP address of the Axxon Next ONVIF Server (3).
   2. In the Port field, enter the port of the Axxon Next ONVIF Server (4).
   3. From the Brand drop-down list, select ONVIF generic (5).
   4. From the Model drop-down list, select generic (6).
   5. From the Firmware drop-down list, select auto (7).

   6. Click the Add button (8).
      
      As a result, the IP device with the specified parameters will be displayed in the upper part of the window.

      Note

      In Intellect version 4.9, configuration is different: you need to select the ONVIF brand and the 4_channel_device model.

4. In the Login and Password columns, enter the login and password to connect to Axxon Next (9).
   
   

5. Select the objects that you want to add to Intellect. To do this, expand the objects list by clicking the button and set the checkboxes next to the objects that need to be created (10).
   

   Note

   In Intellect version 4.9, the onvif_events will be displayed as Axxon Next detection tools. You need to select them.

   
   

6. Click the button.

The selected objects will be automatically created in the objects tree on the Hardware tab.

Creating an object in the Hardware objects tree

1. Create the Video capture device object on the basis of the Computer object on the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box (1).
   

2. From the Type drop-down list, select ONVIF generic (2).
   

   Note

   Earlier versions of Intellect may have the ONVIF or Onvif(h264) types. They can also be selected.

3. In the IP address and Port fields, enter the IP address and port of the Axxon Next ONVIF Server (3).
4. In the Name and Password fields, enter the name and the password to connect to Axxon Next (4).
5. Click the button.

The Video capture device object created this way will correspond to the Axxon Next Server. It will automatically display the available child objects that are present in Axxon Next.
