outline colors of the camera number and surveillance window
Attention!
This section describes the default parameters of the color indication of the surveillance window outline. You can change these parameters during the system configuration—see Configuring the interface of the Surveillance window.
The color of the surveillance window outline displays the current camera state.
Color of the surveillance window outline | Camera state |
Green | Camera is disarmed |
Yellow | Camera is armed |
Red | Camera is armed, an alarm event is registered on the camera OR Camera is disarmed, but one or more detection zones are alarmed, and an alarm event is detected in them—see also Indication of detector status |
Note
The current state of cameras is saved in the STATES table of the Axxon PSIM database every 15 seconds.
The outline color of the camera number in the surveillance window displays the current state of video recording performed from this camera.
Color of the camera number outline | Camera state |
Green | Video isn't recorded. Camera is disarmed |
Yellow | Video isn't recorded. Camera is armed |
Red | Video is recorded |
The combination values of the surveillance window outline color and the color of the camera number outline are described in the table:
Color of the surveillance window outline | Color of the camera number outline | Camera state |
Yellow | Yellow | Camera is armed. Video isn't recorded |
Red | Red | Alarm event is registered on the camera or in the alarmed detection zone. Video recording is started by an alarm event, or the recording, started by the operator's command before the alarm event registration, continues |
Green | Red | Camera is disarmed, but video is recorded by the operator's command or there is the post-alarm recording |
Yellow | Red | Camera is armed, video is recorded by the operator's command or there is the post-alarm recording |
Green | Green | Camera is disarmed. Video isn't recorded |
Red | Yellow | Alarm event is registered on the camera or in the alarmed detection zone, but video isn't recorded when the alarm event is registered |
Note
When you arm or disarm a camera by the additional detection zone, the surveillance window outline doesn't change its color, but when an alarm event is registered on the additional detection zone, the surveillance window outline turns red. Thus, the indication of the camera arming or disarming by additional detection zones isn't performed with the surveillance window outline. See also Indication of detector status.
Icons next to the camera number
The icon of the video signal absence 
appears over the "camera number" icon when there is no video signal. It can be in two cases: the camera isn't connected, or the camera is restarted.
Note
The last video frame or blue screen, depending on the video capture card, is displayed in the surveillance window if there is no video signal.
The icon of the selected disk absence 
appears above the "camera number" icon if you don't select the disk for archive storage (see Selecting disks for video archive storage).
The icon of the overloaded disk 
appears above the "camera number" icon if there are frames skipped during the archive recording (that is, the FRAME_SKIPPED events are received, see CAM Camera). You can disable the indication of frames skipping with the ShowoutlineSkippedStatus key, see Registry keys reference guide.
When you specify the incorrect camera type, the icon of disconnection with the camera 
appears above the "camera number" icon, and the surveillance window outline turns black.
