Applications
AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) is an open platform that enables third parties to develop analytics and other applications
for Axis products. For information about available applications, downloads, trials and licenses, go to
www.axis.com/applications
Note
• The application AXIS Video Motion Detection is included with this product. See
AXIS Video Motion Detection on page 33
• Several applications can run at the same time but some applications might not be compatible with each other. Certain
combinations of applications might require too much processing power or memory resources when run in parallel. Verify
that the applications work together before deployment.
Application Licenses
Some applications need a license to run. Licenses can be installed in two ways:
•
Automatic installation — requires access to the Internet
•
Manual installation — obtain the license key from the application vendor and upload the key to the Axis product
To request a license, the Axis product serial number (S/N) is required. The serial number can be found on the product label and under
System Options > Support > System Overview
.

1. Go to

.
2. Under

Application Considerations
If an application is upgraded, application settings, including the license, will be removed. The license must be reinstalled and
the application reconfigured.
If the Axis product’s firmware is upgraded, uploaded applications and their settings will remain unchanged, although this is not
guaranteed by Axis Communications. Note that the application must be supported by the new firmware. For information about
firmware upgrades, see
Upgrade the Firmware on page 60
If the Axis product is restarted, running applications will restart automatically.
If the Axis product is restored, uploaded applications remain unchanged but must be restarted. To start the application, go to
Setup > Applications
. Select the application in the list of installed applications and click
Start
. For information about restoring
the Axis product, see
