AxxonSoft and Axxon One Explained: A VMS with Built-in AI

When choosing a CCTV system, many companies compare camera brands. Yet what really determines how useful the footage is, is the software that manages it: the video management system (VMS). One of the names widely used in large-scale security projects around the world is AxxonSoft, with its flagship platform Axxon One.

This article explains who AxxonSoft is, what Axxon One does, its key features, and how to choose the right edition for your company in Indonesia.

Who is AxxonSoft?

AxxonSoft is a security software developer founded in 2003 and headquartered in Cork, Ireland. The company has 32 offices worldwide and serves more than 20,000 customers in over 140 countries, supported by more than 2,500 certified partners.

AxxonSoft's product lines include:

• Axxon One: a video management system with built-in AI video analytics.
• Axxon PSIM: a physical security information management platform that integrates multiple security systems into one control centre.
• Cloud solutions: cloud-based video services for remote monitoring.

In Indonesia, AxxonSoft products are officially distributed by SENTINEL (PT Sentra Teknologi Inteligen) as the sole distributor.

What is Axxon One?

Axxon One is a VMS platform that combines three core functions in one system: camera management, video recording and search, and AI video analytics. Companies do not need to buy separate analytics software from different vendors and then try to make them work together.

Its main strength is openness. Axxon One supports more than 1,500 IP camera models, the ONVIF standard (Profiles G, S, T, and M), and RTSP streams. In many projects, existing cameras can be used straight away without replacing them.

Key features of Axxon One

Neural network AI video analytics

Axxon One includes neural network analytics that can be enabled as needed, including:

• Face Recognition & Search: find a person in recordings from an uploaded photo or a selected face.
• License Plate Recognition: read vehicle licence plates automatically.
• Fire & Smoke Detection: detect fire and smoke in the camera's field of view.
• AI Personal Protective Equipment: check PPE such as helmets and vests.
• Human Behavior Analytics: recognise potentially dangerous postures or behaviour, such as a person falling.
• Neural Tracker and Neural Filter: track specific objects more accurately and filter out false alarms caused by moving leaves, glare, or changing weather.

Search footage in seconds

Finding an event in hours of footage is one of the most time-consuming tasks for a security team. Axxon One offers two tools to speed it up:

• MomentQuest: forensic search by object parameters such as colour, size, direction of movement, or a specific area of the screen.
• TimeCompressor: condenses every moving object across a long time range into one short video, so a whole night of recording can be reviewed in minutes.

Reliable and resource-efficient

• Micromodule architecture: every function runs as a separate process. If one module stops, the system restarts it automatically without affecting other processes.
• GreenStream and multistreaming: the system picks the video stream that matches the on-screen display size, saving bandwidth and processor load.
• SolidStore: a storage system designed specifically for continuous video recording.

Monitoring and integration

• An interactive 3D map showing the location of every camera.
• Access from a web browser and a mobile app for remote monitoring.
• Integration with other systems such as point-of-sale (POS) terminals and access control, so events from different systems can be viewed together with the video.

Axxon One editions

Axxon One comes in three main editions. All editions support an unlimited number of cameras; the differences lie in system scale and features for more complex needs.

Edition	Best for	Servers per system	Additional features
Professional	One site or several mid-sized sites	Up to 30	Core VMS and analytics features
Enterprise	Companies that need high reliability	Up to 30	Failover, videowall, storage replication, LDAP integration
Unified	Large organisations with multiple data centres	Unlimited	All Enterprise features plus domain unification across data centres

Some AI analytics are available as add-on modules, depending on the edition. That is why choosing an edition should start from real needs on site, not from the longest feature list.

When is Axxon One the right choice?

Axxon One is a good fit for companies that:

1. Have cameras from different brands and want to manage them in one system.
2. Need AI analytics, not just recording, for example for perimeter security, workplace safety, or visitor data.
3. Plan to grow, adding sites, cameras, or types of analytics step by step.
4. Require high reliability, such as facilities that must be monitored 24 hours a day without interruption.
