Applications
With applications, you can get more out of your Axis device. AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) is an open platform that
makes it possible for third parties to develop analytics and other applications for Axis devices. Applications can be preinstalled on the
device, available for download for free, or for a license fee.
To find the user manuals for Axis applications, go to help.axis.com.
AXIS Object Analytics
AXIS Object Analytics is an analytic application that comes preinstalled on the camera. It detects objects that move in the scene and
classifies them as, for example, humans or vehicles. You can set up the application to send alarms for different types of objects. To
find out more about how the application works, see AXIS Object Analytics user manual.
Cybersecurity
Signed firmware
Signed firmware is implemented by the software vendor signing the firmware image with a private key. When a firmware has this
signature attached to it, a device will validate the firmware before accepting to install it. If the device detects that the firmware
integrity is compromised, the firmware upgrade will be rejected.
Secure boot
Secure boot is a boot process that consists of an unbroken chain of cryptographically validated software, starting in immutable
memory (boot ROM). Being based on the use of signed firmware, secure boot ensures that a device can boot only with authorized
firmware.
Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault provides a hardware-based cybersecurity platform that safeguards the Axis device. It offers features to guarantee the
device's identity and integrity and to protect your sensitive information from unauthorized access. It builds on a strong foundation of
cryptographic computing modules (secure element and TPM) and SoC security (TEE and secure boot), combined with expertise in
edge device security.
TPM module
The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a component that provides cryptographic features to protect information from unauthorized
access. It is always activated and there are no settings you can change.
Axis device ID
Being able to verify the origin of the device is key to establishing trust in the device identity. During production, devices with
Axis Edge Vault are assigned a unique, factory-provisioned, and IEEE 802.1AR-compliant Axis device ID certificate. This works
like a passport to prove the origin of the device. The device ID is securely and permanently stored in the secure keystore as a
certificate signed by Axis root certificate. The device ID can be leveraged by the customer's IT infrastructure for automated secure
device onboarding and secure device identification
Signed video
Signed video ensures that video evidence can be verified as untampered without proving the chain of custody of the video file. Each
camera uses its unique video signing key, which is securely stored in the secure keystore, to add a signature into the video stream.
When the video is played, the file player shows whether the video is intact. Signed video makes it possible to trace the video back to
the camera origin and verifies that the video has not been tampered with after it left the camera.
