1. Video surveillance.
2. Audio monitoring.
3. Exporting frames and recordings.
4. Object tracking.
5. Displaying of sensor current state.
6. Relay management.

To bring up the viewing tile context menu, left-click the video camera icon in the upper left-hand corner of the tile.

Layouts

An Axxon Next operator is granted access to work with the layouts ribbon. The layouts ribbon can operate in a user-defined mode or a standard mode of operation.

By default, the user mode is enabled for the layouts ribbon. The operating mode of the layouts ribbon can be specified in the Settings → Options → User interface tab.
