The advanced features available in Axxon Next C-Werk are continuously updated and extended.
Axxon Next C-Werk offers virtually unlimited opportunities for system scaling, task-based customization, and reallocation of resources (based on changes in the number or quality of video and audio monitoring tasks) at end-user sites.
Video surveillance systems based on Axxon Next C-Werk can scale infinitely: there are no restrictions on the number of video servers, workstations or video cameras.
Support for over 1500 models of IP cameras is included, as well as remote access from mobile devices and a web interface. The Axxon Next C-Werk software package supports touchscreens.
Micromodule architecture
The micromodule architecture of Axxon Next C-Werk video management software allows implementing different video management system functions as different operating system processes. Each function is the responsibility of a different micromodule; a dispatcher module monitors the functioning of the micromodules. If a function encounters an error and a process is quit unexpectedly, the dispatcher module automatically relaunches the corresponding micromodule. This does not affect the performance of other processes or the functioning of the VMS overall.
Support for IP cameras
Drivers Pack
IP camera support in Axxon Next C-Werk is provided through the Driver's Pack Module specially developed by AxxonSoft Grundig and regularly updated to support new IP devices.
Driver's Pack allows adding support for new IP devices without having to wait for the release of new versions of Axxon Next C-Werk and without reinstalling the entire system.
...
Many of today's IP cameras can transmit two video streams with different video parameters and compressed in different codecs. Axxon Next C-Werk supports Multistreaming i.e. receiving two streams from a camera simultaneously: high-quality and low-quality, which allows taking advantage of this feature of IP equipment to optimize the CPU load on the video server and the client workstation. .
...
Embedded video camera analytics
Axxon Next C-Werk supports on-board detection embedded in video cameras. This means that when on-board detection tools are triggered, Axxon Next C-Werk is notified and can use these events to drive system reactions. On-board detection does not burden the CPU of the video server and makes use of uncompressed video (completely bypassing the compressing/decompression process), and therefore provide extra stability in difficult conditions such as poor visibility.
...
360 degree camera support allows dewarping video from a fisheye camera or camera with an ImmerVision panomorphic lens to obtain several "normal" flat images with different frame aspect ratios for display on the client screen. One of the resulting virtual cameras can be a virtual PTZ unit.
ONVIF
AxxonSoft Grundig is a member of ONVIF (the Open Network Video Interface Forum), which work toward the development and promotion of international standards for network security and video surveillance system interfaces. ONVIF is supported in all versions of Drivers Pack starting with version 3.1.3.
...
Many IP cameras support multimedia streaming via RTSP. Axxon Next C-Werk supports receiving such streams without requiring integration of the relevant camera via Drivers Pack.
Support for analog cameras in
...
C-Werk
Alongside IP cameras, Axxon Next C-Werk allows you to use analog cameras in your video surveillance system. Analog cameras are more affordable and are well-suited for many installations without high video resolution requirements. In addition, Axxon Next C-Werk allows creating hybrid systems that combine both analog and IP cameras.
Video and Audio Detection Tools
Axxon Next C-Werk video management software incorporates a powerful system for analysis of video images. It includes the following video detection tools:
...
In addition to the video detection tools, Axxon Next C-Werk has two audio detectors:
noise detection - is triggered by exceeding a certain threshold volume level;
silence detection - is triggered when the microphone signal disappears completely
Macros can be set to automatically run when a detection tool is triggered (on a per-detector basis). Multiple detection tools can be combined into complex conditional rules.
Video archive
SolidStore
SolidStore is a new file system for reliable video storage developed by AxxonSoft Grundig especially for storing video archives. By optimizing the reading/writing process we managed to achieve three important advantages:
...
Forensic Search in Archive
The Axxon Next C-Werk video management software (VMS) utilizes VMDA – a database developed by AxxonSoft Grundig for indexing and storing descriptions of observed scenes. Along with video recording, this database allows archiving characteristics of all moving objects in the scene, and then uses these characteristics to perform quick searches of the video recordings (MomentQuest2 technology).
Interactive 3D Map
Interactive 3D Map superimposes camera locations on a site map and displays camera views in the same window. Cameras in the current layout are color-coded by current status. Operators can instantly pinpoint where a selected camera is located on the map and identify the corresponding location of interest.
...
OpenStreetMap support is available in Axxon NextC-Werk. The site map is downloaded from the Internet and the user selects the necessary area and scale. Additional map data is downloaded in real time, if needed, when zooming in/out or scrolling.

To work with OpenStreetMap maps in Axxon Next C-Werk, you need to purchase an OpenStreetMap license. |
...
The Virtual PTZ Camera function becomes available when the map contains at least one fisheye camera. This function allows viewing video from a fisheye camera directly on the map. Click anywhere in the fisheye video shown in a layout cell to dewarp the source video, with digital zoom and click-to-focus.
User Interface
Editable camera layouts
Axxon Next C-Werk allows you to create custom camera layouts. Layouts can be configured in any way the user wants and the aspect ratios of viewing tiles can be fine-tuned. Editable layouts efficiently fit different cameras with different aspect ratios on the same screen, as well as support display of dewarped fisheye camera footage.
...
Autozoom helps to monitor moving objects by automatically adjusting the level of digital zoom. Autozoom shows close-in video for parts of the frame that contain a moving object or objects and follows them as they move, just as a movie camera does when taking a close-up shot.
Face Recognition
Axxon Next C-Werk includes an algorithm for recognizing human faces in a video frame and subsequent search for them in a video archive of several cameras. You can search by an uploaded photo or by an image of a person's face selected in a video archive frame. The system will return the video fragments from the archive where the searched person is present as search results.
NumberPlate Recognition
Axxon Next C-Werk also includes an algorithm for recognizing vehicle number plates. The recognized number plates are saved to a database and matched with a video archive of several cameras. If a number plate contains similar characters, the system generates several hypotheses during the recognition. This increases the probability of a successful search for a particular number in a generated database.
Receiving Events from External Systems
Axxon Next C-Werk includes a new feature set that is capable of receiving events from various external devices and systems — POS terminals, access control units, external software, etc.
