Applications
Third party applications can be uploaded to and installed on the Axis product. Applications add functionality to the product, for
example video analytics and intelligent video capabilities such as recognition, tracking, detection and counting. For information
about available applications, downloads, trials and licenses, go to
www.axis.com/applications
Note
• It is recommended to run one application at a time.
• Avoid running applications when the built-in motion detection is active.
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
.

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, installed applications and their settings will remain unchanged, although this is not
guaranteed by Axis Communications AB. Note that the application must be supported by the new firmware. For information about
firmware upgrades, see
Upgrade the Firmware
.
If the Axis product is restarted, running applications will restart automatically.
If the Axis product is restored, installed 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
