Cross Platform Camera Setup
122 AxTraxNG™ Software Installation and User Manual
F. Cross Platform Camera Setup
This section describes the complete process of adding cameras to the AC-525
panels as defined both in AxTraxNG™ and ViTrax™ applications, as well as
emphasizes some of the important steps to help ensure proper camera
operation.
This process is essentially a two-step procedure that needs to be defined in
both applications.
First, you need to add the installed camera in the ViTrax™ software, only then
is it possible to assign the camera to the relevant AC-525 panel defined in the
AxTraxNG™ application.
To add a camera to the system:
1. Install the AC-525 panel and connect the cameras (see AC-525 installation
manual)
2. Add the camera in the ViTrax™ application by either:
a. Performing a camera search using the Automatically discover
network devices option.
b. Manually add a camera using the Camera setup wizard > Add
new device – AC-525.
3. [Optional] Configure Motion Detection in the ViTrax™ application if
motion detection is used.
If Motion Detection is required, first define Motion analysis via the
ViTrax™ application:
a. Select the Use Motion Detector for the Stream Being Used
checkbox.
b. Click Properties to adjust motion detection properties.
The Motion Detection feature consumes a large amount of CPU power,
resulting in a high overall CPU power usage by the application. This may
reduce the overall number of cameras that can be managed by the ViTrax™
Server application.
4. Add the camera in the AxTraxNG™ application:
a. In AxTraxNG™ , ensure that the ViTrax™ Server is configured and is
"Connected" with AxTraxNG™ .
b. In the AxTraxNG™ Tree menu, select the relevant AC-525 Network
item.
c. Click the icon.
On the left, you see the names of the cameras connected with this
network as previously defined in ViTrax.
