    43. longest pre-alarm recording time available in the Archive settings is used
    • duration of the prerecord time corresponds to the longest value among the set values.
    • Changing

    • the value of the prerecord time in a specific macro does not affect the

    46. If
  46. In the Recording frame rate parameter, enter the required frame rate value if you have cameras in continuous recording mode (see Configuring recording to an archive) and you want to
    47. record with specified fps (see example 2)
  47. change
    48. the
  48. frame rate
    49. , enter the required frame rate (7)
  49. in some cases. After the macro
    50. command
  50. completes, recording resumes at the frame rate specified in the archive settings.
    You can use special
    51. codes
  51. values:

    • 0

    52. − do

    • —do not change the current frame rate (default).

    • -

Configuration of the Start recording action is complete.

Example use

Example 1

.A macro -command to initiate VMD-triggered to start recording to the Archive from the archive when the motion detector generates an event on any camera within the Default Axxon-domain (see Configuring start conditions).
Image RemovedImage Added

Example 2

. All video cameras from the Default Axxon Domain -domain are set to continuously record video at the specified fps by dropping frames with decimation to the archive (see Configuring recording to an archive). When you have a motion detection event, you need to switch to full fps recording. Configure the following macro to do so:
Image Removed. A macro records to the archive by events from the motion detector at full frame rate.

Axxon One operation with Windows Defender software

If you have Windows Defender software installed in your system, some problems can occur when accessing and saving data to the archive, as well as significant slowing down of Search in archive.

As a workaround, you can either disable Windows Defender or add AppHost.exe, AppHostSvc.exe, and vfs_format.exe files to the exceptions list.
