AxxonSoft announces the launch of the Axxon Next open video surveillance platform

The video surveillance and security systems software developer, AxxonSoft, has launched Axxon Next, a new generation distributed video surveillance platform without limitations for the number of cameras and video servers, and that incorporates new functions such as the Time Compressor, which allows quick viewing of events in the video file without using accelerated playback, and the interactive 3D map, that allows the video images and the distribution of the cameras to be palpably displayed, all in one window.

AxxonSoft Axon Next has been launched, an open next-generation video surveillance platform. The unique functions realized in this product allow it to provide users with a new level of quality., functionality, reliability, productivity, effectiveness and comfort of use. Axxon Next has no restrictions on scale – Solutions based on this product can include an unlimited number of video servers and camcorders. The stability of the system's operation is achieved through the introduction of a micromodular architecture that guarantees the realization of various functions of the video surveillance system in different processes of the operating system.. A particular micromodule is responsible for the fulfillment of each function, and the performance of the micromodules is controlled by a controller module. In case of failures and abnormal termination of the process, The controller module will automatically reset the corresponding micromodule, which will not affect the performance of parallel processes and the operation of the video surveillance system in general. The functional tests of the micromodules are carried out automatically, which reduces the probability of errors in the code.

In Axxon Next, the specialized SolidStore file system is used, which protects the video surveillance system against the main disadvantage of standard file systems. – data fragmentation. The use of SolidStore has made it possible to greatly improve the speed of access to the video file during the entire useful life of the system and prolong the operating period of the hard drives.. Due to the absence of independent blocks containing extremely important information, SolidStore-based video archiving ensures an unparalleled level of storage reliability.

Any Axxon Next license includes 10 video detectors and Time Compressor – a tool to quickly view the video file without using accelerated playback. This technology allows all objects captured by the camera to be displayed simultaneously on the screen during a certain period of time., and then view the necessary video fragment with a single click.

During product development, Much attention was paid to ease of use and optimization of the interface according to user needs. Based on the results of numerous studies, In Axxon Next, the 3D interactive map was implemented. This function allows you to combine in one window the map of the object with the cameras installed on it and the video images from these cameras. Thanks to this, the operator can determine at which point on the object the event captured by the camera takes place, without wasting time switching between windows and without having to look at another monitor. Besides, The interface is arranged in such a way that on the screen there is enough space for the map and the video image.

In Axxon Next the principle of “maximum security for everyone”, in which there are no concepts such as corporate version, professional or basic: Full functionality is available in systems of any size and does not depend on the number of channels or their cost. For installation on small objects, a fully functional free version with a server and 16 video channels, whose file volume is limited to one terabyte. If it is necessary to expand the system or to increase the volume of the video file, the commercial version can be purchased, in this case, the cost of each additional video channel will remain fixed.
