Expand the number of licences supported by Axis Camera Station NVRs with this core device licence. Integrate one additional Axis IP camera or device and tie it to the NVR hardware for the lifetime of the hardware, enabling full access to ACS Pro video management software.
Gain greater insights into your surveillance network with Axis Camera Station Pro, an advanced and versatile video management system offering users full control and flexibility over monitoring and recording from an unlimited number of Axis IP devices. Designed with ease of use in mind, operators can monitor multiple devices simultaneously, effectively manage events and quickly find and export evidence.
Supports integration with the full portfolio of Axis IP devices including all IP cameras, IP audio devices, access control devices, radar devices and body worn solutions. Also supports all Axis video analytics such as Axis Object Analytics (AOA) and on-camera ANPR apps.
Video Management
Capable of supporting ultra high-definition video from cameras up to 20MP resolution and 180fps, users can monitor multiple video streams simultaneously from up to 36 cameras for synchronised playback. The user-friendly tab-based design allows users to easily switch back and forth between live and recorded views from individual cameras. Drag and drop camera feeds using the tree-view navigation to create custom-made views, as well as display information drawn from additional data sources such as web pages. Develop custom maps and site plans for birds-eye overviews of device locations. Manually control PTZ cameras as well as enable presets to direct the camera toward specified areas upon event detection.
System health monitoring alerts users of any issues with connected devices to minimise downtime. Full integration of camera-based analytics such as motion detection and object classification delivered by Axis Object Analytics (AOA) allows for comprehensive event detection and management, in addition to developing actionable insights into performance with the Axis Insights Dashboard.
Video Retrieval
When finding and exporting footage, tools such as video scrubbing and smart search filters, including AI-classified object types, enables rapid footage retrieval, and users can securely encrypt the video file to be shared safely with others. Axis Camera Station Pro includes Smart Search 2, an AI-driven forensic search method for efficiently searching through video captured by Axis cameras via granular object classification, and retrieving footage including specific metadata defined through several filters such as types of vehicle, clothing and colour.
Search for images of moving objects within large amounts of recorded video using free text search, a powerful forensic search tool allowing you to create filter terms using your own words for flexible and intuitive video retrieval. This function is based on a open-source, pre-trained model that has been optimised specifically by Axis for surveillance use cases for greater efficiency.
Viewing Clients
Setting up devices with ACS Pro is easy thanks to the user-friendly installation and configuration wizard, and management and operation of all devices can be performed from any Axis Camera Station client within the system.
- Client application for Windows provides direct server access for control and monitoring through a PC or workstation
- Occasional or remote users can access feeds through the web client, which allows access from any modern web browser, including Mac devices.
- For users on-the-go, remote monitoring and basic functionality is available through the mobile app available for Android and iOS.
Licencing
For Axis devices, a core licence is required whereas third-party devices require a universal licence.

Please ensure you are purchasing the correct type of licence - this device licence can only be used with compatible Axis Camera Station recorders. Refer to the table or use the Axis Licence Calculator to determine which licence is required when integrating a new IP device into ACS.
Hardware
Compatible with all Axis Camera Station NVRs.
