    If it's an Axis IP camera, it works with AtomVision. Axis's ONVIF implementation is among the best in the industry.

    Getting Connected

    Plug the AI Edge Analytic Box into the same network as your Axis cameras—Axis has ONVIF enabled by default, so there's typically nothing to configure on the camera side. Discovery is automatic. Most setups complete in 5–10 minutes, and it works alongside Axis Camera Station if you're already using it.
