Video Surveillance - Seeing video in a whole new way

Axis Analytics is a set of AI-driven software applications created by Axis Communications, which turns network cameras and audio devices into intelligent sensors. Most of these applications operate at the edge, processing data directly on the device to reduce bandwidth and eliminate the need for expensive central servers. As of 2026, the core analytics portfolio includes applications tailored for security, safety, and business operations. AXIS Object Analytics is capable of detecting, classifying, and counting humans and various vehicle types, supporting scenarios like line-crossing, time-in-area, and occupancy estimation. AXIS Audio Analytics utilizes AI to recognize specific sound patterns such as glass breaking, screams, shouting, or coughing fits, triggering alerts even when visual data is limited. AXIS Scene Metadata generates high-quality metadata about scene details, such as object color, speed, and location, for advanced forensic searches and real-time decision-making. AXIS Image Health Analytics continuously monitors for image degradation, such as blurring, blocking, redirection, or underexposure, to ensure the system is operational. In addition to the core applications, there are specialized applications like AXIS License Plate Verifier which automates vehicle access control, AXIS Live Privacy Shield which dynamically masks moving people and objects in real-time to maintain privacy compliance, and AXIS Perimeter Defender which provides high-security perimeter protection for large outdoor sites.
