Recommended replacement: AXIS Device Manager

Note: AXIS Device Manager is the new, improved version of AXIS Camera Management. We will support AXIS Camera Management until 21st of December 2020, but no additional feature development will be made.

How the system works

Main interface

The main window provides an overview of all devices in the system, with information about device model, name, address, status, serial number and firmware version.
Assign IP address

AXIS Camera Management allows easy assignment and change of IP addresses. You can set the IP address manually, or suggest available IP addresses from a specified range to speed up the process of assigning the IP address in multiple devices.
Configure devices

With AXIS Camera Management you can configure one or many devices at a time. You can save parameter values in a template that can be applied on several devices.
Upgrade Axis video products with new firmware

Multiple Axis video products of different models can easily be upgraded in sequence or in parallel. Firmware is automatically downloaded from axis.com and matched with the camera model.
Download compatible applications

You can download any Axis-compatible application to your devices using AXIS Camera Management. You then match the license key file to the correct camera.
Backup and restore camera settings

Backup the camera configuration and restore it to the same device or another device. This powerful feature can be used when replacing a device or to copy a standard configuration to several other devices.

User scenarios

These are some typical user scenarios where AXIS Camera Management would provide an easy and efficient solution.

Manage multiple sites

With AXIS Camera Management installed at each site, you can manage the devices in the system from one central location.
Update product firmware

AXIS Camera Management handles firmware upgrades of multiple devices and automatically verifies the use of the latest version from the Axis website.
Distribute camera applications

With AXIS Camera Management you can efficiently distribute compatible applications as well as license key files to several devices in the system.
