The Axis Technical Support Videos YouTube channel is the official platform for instructional content provided by Axis Communications to assist users with their network video products.
This video reviews some of the main features and functions introduced into the 6.15 release of Axis Camera Station Pro.
The highlight of this release is a change of procedure associated with the licensing of Axis S-Series recorders which simplifies the management of offline installations.
Now when you register a Axis S-Series recorder within AXIS License Manager all of the pre-bundled licenses and added expansion licenses will be available for off line systems enabling them to grow without the need to re-sync with AXIS License Manager every time a new device is added to the system.
If you add more devices than there are licenses, a grace period of 60 days will start to give you time to purchase additional licenses. You must redeem and add the licenses and resync the server with Axis License Manager. If not, the server will become unlicensed when the grace period ends.
We have continued to add functionality to the inbuilt data insight dashboards. You can now display data associated with audio, people counting, vehicle counting and air quality.
Our environmental sensors now provide heat index and humidex measurements which can be used to better understand how the environment actually feels to people.
Color-coded threshold values are now provided in both the data insight dashboard and the live dashboards provided by the sensors. These threshold levels highlight if any action or investigation is required. The details of the thresholds can be seen within the devices web interface within the dashboard menu option which is also where you can also choose which details are displayed.
Finally several small system administration features have been introduced. You can now see the storage and RAID status of AXIS S30 and S40 series recording devices within storage management.
Within user permissions two different privileges have been added: “Add categories to events” and “Remove categories from events” these options allow you to restrict access to the event categories function.
Finally, the minimum retention time for logs is now 7 days, and the maximum retention time is 1000 days. This ensures that useful information will be available for a reasonable time if required.

AXIS Camera Station 5 will remain supported until September 30, 2027, after which it will no longer be developed, maintained, or tested.
Existing customers can stay up to date with the latest features and functionality by upgrading their software to AXIS Camera Station Pro.
AXIS Camera Station 5 installed on Axis S-Series recorders can be upgraded for free and all included and registered licenses will be converted to AXIS Camera Station Pro lifetime licenses which are tied to the recorder hardware.
For solutions using third-party servers and virtual machines a subscription license model has been introduced, which allow AXIS Camera Station 5 licenses installed on non-AXIS recording hardware to be converted to 5-year AXIS Camera Station Pro subscription licenses via the purchase of an upgrade license.

This video with show you the highlights of some of the new features introduced into ACS Pro 6.14.
As always look at the release notes to see exactly what has been introduced into this release.
We have improved the display and layout of the available recording methods. When cameras are selected the available options are presented in cards on the right-hand side of the screen. A recording option can then be selected and configured to your requirements.
As well as the standard continuous and motion detections recording options, we have now introduced object detection. Object detection is an integration of the AXIS Object Analytics application which comes pre-installed on compatible cameras.
AXIS Object Analytics is compatible with Axis MLPU cameras running AXIS OS 10.2 or later, and DLPU cameras running AXIS OS 10.3 or later. You can check and update the AXIS OS your camera using the management options within the device’s menu item.
Object Detection enables the generation of triggers for recordings and alarm notifications when human or vehicles are detected in the scene. Using object detection can provide more focused results when compared to motion detection which will trigger on any movement within the scene.
It is worth noting that additional and advanced configurations can also be configured using Object analytics within actions rules.
Another improvement within Recording methods has been made to Manual recordings. The manual recording function provides an operator the ability for recordings to be started by an operator whilst watching live video. As well as being used in solutions that require operator triggered recordings rather than automated. This can also be a useful tool for operators to “mark” interesting footage whilst observing incidents.
A new function that can be enabled is the creation of a bookmark when the manual recording is started. This allows the operator to add a comment as to why they activated the recording immediately, bookmarks can also be added at some other time.
Finally a maximum recording duration can now be specified. This can be used ensure that a manual recording is not accidently left ON indefinitely as it could in some cases have a negative effect on the solutions storage allocation.
For users of our Action rules we have made several changes that improves the usability and efficiency when creating of rules. Rules are now presented as cards giving you full visibility and immediate access to all of the elements that make up the rule. You can add and edit any element of the action rule without being restricted to a specific order which simplifies the process.
You can now select multiple rules and add common triggers or actions. If you want to add the same action or tigger to all of the selected rules you can.
Finally, an additional display option has been added to maps. Direction arrow. Coverage areas can be used to indicate the cameras direction of view but in solutions where there is a high concentration of cameras they can clutter the map. In addition to a coverage area, you can now display a direction arrow. The arrowhead can be easily rotated around the camera icon providing a simple but effective indication of the cameras direction the view.
