To save a frame, select its scale in the function menu of the surveillance window: Export → Save frame → Scale (100%, 30%, 10%). Here, the percentage determines the compression ratio of a video:

  • 100%—lossless compression. Frames are stored in BMP format.
  • 30%—stronger (lossy) compression. Frames are stored in JPEG format.
  • 10%—strongest (lossy) compression. Frames are stored in JPEG format.

By default, the file containing the saved frame is saved in the C:\Users\%current username%\Documents\Axxon PSIM\export\ directory. The file name is generated as follows: <camera number> (<date> <time>). For instance, 02 (03-10-07 16'28'06).jpg. You can change the path to the folder for saving the frame in the Tweaky.exe utility (see The settings panel of the PSIM section).

Note

If you specified the additional information while configuring the camera (see Administrator's Guide), then the file is named in another way: <number of the camera> <additional information> (<date> <time>). For example, 02 Information (03-10-07 16'28'06).jpg.

If captions are added to the video (see Configuring the captions showing), they are present in the exported frame. You can set the caption size on the settings panel of the Captioner object. The size can change during export if the frame resolution is reduced. To enable adaptive caption size, use the ExportFontAdaptive registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).
