Axis offers complete solutions for your network video needs, from network cameras and video encoders, to video management software and accessories.

Use them to remotely and cost-effectively monitor places, people or manufacturing processes; secure sites with the help of alarm information and video motion detection; provide remote demonstrations or consultations; or broadcast live images on Web sites.

Axis Communications has introduced an ActiveX based SDK called the Axis Media Control and an HTTP based API called VAPIX® as a means to address the growing interest from network video development partners. VAPIX® is considered to be the global application programming interface (API) standard, in the rapidly growing field of Network Video based on IP.

All Axis network cameras and video servers have an HTTP-based application programming interface. VAPIX® provides functionality for requesting images, controlling network camera functions (PTZ, relays etc.) and setting/retrieving internal parameter values. The purpose of the API is to make it easier for developers to build applications that support Axis video products.
