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.
Note
• Several applications can run at the same time but some applications might not be compatible with each other. Certain
combinations of applications might require too much processing power or memory resources when run in parallel. Verify
that the applications work together before deployment.
AXIS People Counter
AXIS People Counter is an analytic application that you can install on a network camera. You can use the application to count how
many people pass through an entrance, in what direction they pass, and if more than one person passes during a predefined interval.
You can also use it to estimate how many people are currently occupying an area, and the average visiting time.
The application runs embedded in the camera which means you don't need a dedicated computer to run the application.
AXIS People Counter is suitable for any indoor environment, like stores, libraries, or gyms.
How does estimating occupancy work?
You can use the application to estimate occupancy in areas with one or several entrances and exits. Each entrance and exit needs to be
equipped with a network camera with AXIS People Counter installed. If there are several cameras, they communicate with each other
over the network in a primary and secondary concept. The primary camera continuously fetches data from the secondary cameras and
presents the data in the live view. Every fifteen minutes, the primary camera sends the statistical data to AXIS Store Data Manager.
Consequently, the reports generated from AXIS Store Data Manager can present the data in a minimum of 15 minutes time interval.
Autotracking
AXIS Scream Detection
AXIS Scream Detection is an application that triggers an event if a scream is detected. The generated event can be used, for
example, to record a video or alert security staff.
Before using the application, consider the following:
• The application is mainly intended for detecting screams in a generally quiet environment. The difference between the
background sound level and the scream must be at least 15-20 dB for the application to function effectively. Consider
the proximity to the expected sound source, the background noise level and the audio input gain level when installing
the product.
• Adjust the audio input gain to a level where the background noise covers approximately 30-50% of the application's audio
level graph. To access the Input gain setting, click the Audio Settings link on the application page.
• If the interval between screams is less than 3 seconds, the application regards it as one scream.
AXIS Blocked View Detection
AXIS Blocked View Detection is an application that triggers an alarm if tampering of the camera is detected, for example, if the
lens is covered or sprayed.
For optimal performance, we recommend that the camera view contains objects, patterns or lines that can be detected.
