AXIS Camera Management

Efficient management tool for your

Axis network video products

In any installation, with few or many Axis video products, the

AXIS Camera Management offers powerful and efficient installation and management capabilities.

With this software installed on your Windows PC you can automatically locate multiple Axis video products on the local network using standard network protocols. Furthermore, you can set the IP addresses, configure, show connection status and manage firmware upgrades of multiple Axis video products sequentially or in parallel. Remote video devices with known IP addresses can also be managed.

For simplified overview, the video devices can be grouped into user defined groups and subgroups such as Building A - Second floor, etc. When new Axis video products are added to the network, or if status changes e.g. connection lost, the video devices are placed in pre-defined groups for easy handling. Video devices may easily be re-grouped, making it possible to view and manage your specific surveillance installation efficiently. The AXIS Camera Management allows secure ways to connect to Axis video products using HTTPS encryption.

This flexible management software simplifies management of your

Axis video products over the network.
