Firmware options
Axis offers product firmware management according to either the active track or the long-term support (LTS) tracks. Being on the
active track means continuously getting access to all the latest product features, while the LTS tracks provide a fixed platform with
periodic releases focused mainly on bug fixes and security updates.
Using firmware from the active track is recommended if you want to access the newest features, or if you use Axis end-to-end system
offerings. The LTS tracks are recommended if you use third-party integrations, which are not continuously validated against the latest
active track. With LTS, the products can maintain cybersecurity without introducing any significant functional changes or affecting
any existing integrations. For more detailed information about Axis product firmware strategy, go to
