Optimize Axis integrations with the VAPIX Data Transformation API

As camera deployments generate and use more data, managing and transmitting that data efficiently becomes increasingly important.  

The Data Transformation API allows you to filter, reformat, and process AXIS Scene Metadata directly on the edge, right inside the Axis device, before sending it to your server or cloud service. 

Why use the Data Transformation API? 

  • Optimize bandwidth: Send only the data you need. Filter by object class or confidence threshold at the source. 
  • Simplify integration: Format metadata payloads to match the schema required by your video management software (VMS), IoT platform, or third-party cloud service, reducing the need for additional middleware.  
  • Streamline processing: Preprocess data at the edge to reduce the processing load on external consumers and backend systems. 

Explore technical information, code examples, and endpoint specifications in the Axis developer documentation. 

note

Starting with AXIS OS 13.0, the Data Transformation API is fully stable and ready for production deployments.
