Features:

  • If fisheye conversion, rotation, or scaling is applied to the image in the Surveillance window, then in order to export the video using this conversion, it is necessary to set the Display as on monitor screen checkbox (see Image processing). The video is stored in the archive in the original format, and when being exported, the video angle is selected at the current moment for the camera in the Surveillance window.
  • Watermark is added to the video image. It is displayed over the video image when playing back the video archive in the Axxon Player utility (see Watermarks).
  • The 100 FPS value is displayed in the properties of the exported AVI file. This value is set by the software, as the frames of the original video can be arranged unevenly. When exporting, frames are distributed so that the final AVI file is played back smoothly.
  • The size of the exported AVI file is limited to 1.97 GB. For other formats and modes, there is no size limit.
