You can use analytics from AxxonSoft (Configuring Scene Analytics Detection Tools) on Axis devices.

This option is available for all Axis devices on the following hardware platforms:

  • MIPS (ARTPEC-4 and ARTPEC-5 CPUs),
  • ARMv7 (ARTPEC-6 and ARTPEC-7 CPUs).

For full list of setup parameters, refer to the AxxonSoft Tracker help.

All CPU heavy analytics and metadata generation tasks are delegated to the camera in this case. 

To do this:

  1. Go to the device's web interface. 
  2. Select the Setup menu (1) → Applications (2).

  3. Select the ACAP application (3) and click Upload Package (4).

    For application, contact AxxonSoft help-desk. You will be given a license code that is to be registered along with camera's MAC address on Axis website in order to get the license file.


  4. Go to AxxonSoft Tracker menu (1) → License (2).
  5. Select the license file (3).
  6. Click Install (4).
  7. Go to Applications, select the installed applications (1).
  8. Click Start (2).
  9. In Axxon One, create for the corresponding camera the AxxonSoft onboard tracker object.

  10. Configure the tracker and create the required detection tools.

    You can configure the AxxonSoft onboard tracker object similar to the General information on Scene Analytics detection tools.

    You cannot configure perspective for solution based on Axis devices.
