After Cabling
Basic set-up required after
installation of cameras, cables, and
alarm inputs, and the power is
switched on for the first time
Minimum set-up to enable the video
input ports
How to Get Around in the Product
1) Connect to PC/Web browser
Over Ethernet (network or directly with crossover cable)
Over serial port (directly with null-modem cable
supplied by Axis)
2) In the case of network connection, set
the IP parameters and then continue with
Web browser set-up
The first thing that will be seen in the Web
browser is …
After Enabling the Cameras
The AXIS 2460 immediately starts to
record from all enabled cameras at 1 frame
per second
The “Continuous recording” event, a predefined event, which is enabled on all
cameras by default
The event can be disabled or deleted
It is the events that determine what the
AXIS 2460 will do!
Default View
Quad view
Always the same image size is displayed
For cameras set at high resolution (4CIF): Every
second pixel horizontally and vertically is removed
For cameras set at normal resolution (CIF): Image
shown in its’ true resolution
For cameras set at low resolution (QCIF): Every pixel
horizontally and vertically is doubled
Viewing frame rate up to 7 (NTSC) / 6 (PAL) fps per
camera with 4 synchronized cameras
Viewing frame rate up to 3.5 (NTSC) / 3 (PAL) fps per
camera with 4 unsynchronized cameras
Viewing frame rate up to 30 (NTSC) / 25 (PAL) fps
with 1 camera
Links to single camera view
Image shown in its’ true resolution
Links to Recordings and Administration
Does Everybody Have Access?
Yes, as long as the default password
‘pass’ remains unchanged
Three levels of users can be defined
Administrator
Operator
Viewer
All can be defined with or without dialup access
User Levels
User Settings are found under
Administration - System Options – Users
Administrator
Has access to everything
Operator
Has access to everything except System Option
Viewer
Has access to live viewing, playback, and
manual start/stop recording (if such an event
has been defined)
Setting Up Events
Event settings are found under Administration Recording Options – Event Settings
Start with Alarm Settings if alarm inputs/output is
going to be used
Can only be set up by Administrator or Operator
Up to 100 events can be defined at the same time
Up to 50 events can be active at the same time and
trigger recordings
As long as a recording exists, which has been
triggered by a certain event, the even will remain
defined even if deleted from the Events List
Events can always be disabled
Events for the “Small” Store
Storeroom MD active
Record storeroom camera at max frame rate, recording
duration 10 minutes, high priority recording
Always under normal conditions
Record store and cashier cameras at 1 fps, normal
priority recording
Store MD active between 7 PM and 8 AM
Record store and cashier cameras at max frame rate,
pre-buffer 5 minutes, top priority recording
Cashier push button active
Record store and cashier cameras at max frame rate,
pre-buffer 30 minutes, recording duration 60 minutes,
trigger alarm on output control, send an e-mail, top
priority recording
Always
Record parking lot camera, 1 fps, low priority recording
Where are the Recordings?
All recordings are found under the
Recordings link
Under Administration
Directly in the Live Quad View page
Directly in a single camera view page
Recordings
Allows you to search for recordings
By camera, event name, and time
Playback
Axis ActiveX component
Shows images in recorded resolution
Variable playback speed
Zoom in on time intervals
Create snapshots and AVI files
Lock recording (save “as is” on the hard
disk until unlocked)
No limit on number of recordings
Expect slower Web interface with many
(thousands of) recordings
Recording Options
Three Recording Modes available
The possible settings for the APViS
algorithm
Normal – Long – Extended Long
APViS – Axis Patent Pending
An Axis invented algorithm to make room
for new recordings on the hard disks by
reducing the frame rate of the oldest and
least important recordings
Eventually recordings are erased from the
hard disks (unless locked)
Increases availability time of recordings
compared to the standard FIFO algorithm
Age and priority of the event triggering a
recording determine when frame rate
reduction is done
Reduction is Done in Four Steps

The Recording Modes
Normal
Same as FIFO, i.e. oldest recording erased
completely no matter what priority
Extended
Approximately doubles recording availability
over Normal
Extended Long
Approximately five-doubles recording
availability over Normal
Max Store Time
Regardless of recording mode, maximum store
time of recordings can be specified per camera
to enable compliance with local legislation
Availability / Time to First Reduction
Examples, approximate figures
Secure Storage
A method to reduce the impact of a hard
disk crash or unexpected power failure
The AXIS 2460 writes images sequentially
to all available disks
With for example 4 disks and in case of a disk
crash, ¼ of the images of all recordings are lost,
i.e. a 25 % decrease of frame rate is the only
result and no complete recordings are lost
The AXIS 2460 uses a journaling file
system (ext3fs)
After a power crash, the AXIS 2460 self-repairs
and automatically resumes normal operation
The recordings database is continuously
backed up to all available disks, but 1 minute of
latest recordings may be lost
