Serial number check

To check serial numbers of Axis IP devices, do the following:

  1. Enter a serial number into the appropriate field.
  2. Click Apply.
  3. The device will be reconnected. Upon reconnection, the entered serial number will be checked against the real one.  If numbers do not match, a separate event will be registered in the system Log.

Bonjour function

For Axis IP devices on which the Bonjour function is supported and enabled, changing the default value of the Friendly name parameter is strongly discouraged. If an arbitrary Friendly name value is set for an Axis IP device, a search for connected equipment in the Axxon Next software package will give incorrect results for this IP device.

The Friendly name parameter is configured through the Web interface of the IP device: Setup -> System options -> Network -> Bonjour


The default value of the Friendly name parameter is as follows: AXIS <model name> - <mac address>, where <model name> is the model of the Axis IP device and <mac address> is its MAC address (for example, AXIS 214 - 00408C7D2610

Video streams

Axxon Next can access the following video streams from Axis IP devices:

1. H.264/MJPEG video
2–5. Streams matching the Quality, Balanced, Bandwidth, and Mobile profiles. These profiles are configured via the camera's web interface.

In Axxon Next, the Quality profile corresponds to stream 1. Auto, Balanced is stream 2. Auto, Bandwidth is stream 3. Auto, and Mobile is stream 4. Auto (see The Video Camera Object).
