Metadata is the foundation for intelligence from video. Alongside the video stream, Axis AI-powered cameras deliver accessible, real-time scene metadata, that is organized, labeled and standardized for easy integration.
Whether you're building for the edge, cloud, or hybrid environments, AXIS Scene Metadata lays the foundation for faster development, simplified scaling and real-time automation.
Axis devices can track multiple objects simultaneously, providing positions with persistent object IDs to ensure reliable tracking over time. You can use AI-based analytics with object detection and classification to filter metadata and trigger events. This enables real-time tracking, immediate alerts and automated responses.
The snapshot feature makes reviewing footage from multiple cameras easy by automatically identifying and sending a cropped image of each detected object. You can quickly scan, store, or forward snapshots for further analysis, reducing the time, bandwidth, and costs associated with managing raw video.
Access real-time metadata from video streams and other sensors. You can choose to retrieve data live or access it later via VMS integrations. All metadata is time-synced and aligned with the source content for seamless event correlation. Time-synchronization enables efficient indexing, search, and multi-sourced data.
AXIS Scene Metadata includes:
AXIS Scene Metadata is available either frame by frame or as consolidated summaries. Both formats include object classification, position, direction, speed, attributes and timestamps.
AXIS Scene Metadata is designed for efficient use across diverse systems and applications:
1. Edge applications – enabling fast, localized decisions and automation
2. Video Management Systems – supporting real-time alerts and smarter post-event search
3. IoT and BI platforms – feeding dashboards with clear data on patterns and trends
4. A second analytics layer – powering deeper analysis in addition to initial edge processing
