AXIS Camera Station
Overview
Overview
AXIS Camera Station is a monitoring and recording system for small and midsize installations, such as retail shops, hotels,
manufacturing sites and schools. AXIS Camera Station is a video management software optimized to take full advantage of Axis
network cameras and video encoders, and combines easy installation and intuitive operation with powerful features for effective
video investigation.
In addition to the computer client, you can monitor your surveillance site from other locations through Axis Mobile viewing app. Axis
Mobile viewing app allows you to access multiple systems and use features such as live view with selectable streaming proles,
timeline visualization of recorded events as well as snapshots in live view and playback.
AXIS Camera Station is comprised of
• AXIS Camera Station Server — handles all communication with cameras, video encoders and auxiliary devices in the system.
The number of cameras and encoders that each Server can communicate with is limited by the total bandwidth available.
• AXIS Camera Station Client — provides access to recordings, live video, logs and conguration. The Client can be installed
on any computer enabling remote viewing and control from anywhere on the Internet or corporate network.
• AXIS Mobile Viewing App — provides access to recordings and live video on multiple systems. The app can be installed
on Android and iOS devices, and enable remote viewing from other locations.
Several Clients can be connected to the same Server, and each Client can be connected to several Servers. See Multiple Servers on
page 10.
AXIS Camera Station is available in multiple languages. The language is selected during installation but can also be changed later
by selecting Customize from the Options menu.
Installation scenario. AXIS Camera Station Server, installed on a dedicated computer, handles the communication with cameras both
inside and outside the local (corporate) network. The cameras are monitored and controlled from two AXIS Camera Station Clients
— one on the local network and one connected via the Internet. The cameras can also be monitored from mobile devices using AXIS
Mobile viewing app.
AXIS Camera Station Server
AXIS Camera Station Server handles all communication with cameras, video encoders and auxiliary devices in the system. The Server
also handles recordings, event management and user management.
The Server should be installed on a dedicated computer. Once installed, the Service Control can be used to start and stop the Server
and to modify settings if needed. See AXIS Camera Station Service Control on page 68.
