Creating and configuring the Camera object

To create and configure the Camera object, do the following:

1. In the context menu of the Video capture device object, select Create object → Camera.
   

2. As a result, the basic settings panel of the object is displayed.
   

   Note

   Basic settings are set automatically. If necessary, you can change the ID, object name, and parent object.

3. Click the Apply button to create the object.
4. In the objects tree, select the created Camera object.
   
5. Configure the created object:
   

   1. From the Channel number list, select a physical video output of the card to which the camera is connected (see Features of video subsystem configuration).

      Note

      Channel numbers within one Video capture device object mustn't be repeated.

   2. In the Resolution list, select the resolution with which the video signal is captured: Standard—minimum allowable value for the card, High—average value, and Full—maximum allowable value.

      Note

      Resolutions supported by video capture cards are given in Appendix 4. Technical specifications of video capture cards.

      When configuring the camera, which is connected via the SC590N4 video capture card, in Axxon PSIM, you must set the frame resolution equal to the resolution set on the camera. Otherwise, artifacts can appear on the video image.

      If you are using the Stretch VRC-6404 HD video capture card, make sure to restart Axxon PSIM whenever you change the resolution.

      Changing the Resolution doesn't guarantee that the resolution of the received video signal changes, as it depends, among other things, on the internal settings of the camera itself. If you need to specify certain streams strictly, it is better to configure multistream video.

   3. Click the Apply button to save the settings.

Configuring the Camera object is complete.

Repeat the steps described in this section for all cameras connected to the card.
