Integration

Full platform integration

Kognition AI integrates across Axis cameras (via ACAP), AXIS Camera Station VMS, and AXIS Entry access control.

Edge & VMS deployment

Run AI on-camera via ACAP for ultra-low latency, or integrate with AXIS Camera Station VMS for centralized management and alerting.

Access control integration

AI threat detections trigger automated responses in AXIS Entry—lockdowns, door control, and coordinated physical security actions.

Unified management

Manage cameras, AI analytics, VMS, and access control through integrated Axis platform tools for streamlined operations.

  1. 1

    Connect

    Deploy Kognition on-camera via ACAP, or integrate with AXIS Camera Station VMS—remotely, through standard ACAP tools.

  2. 2

    Detect

    AI runs at the edge for ultra-low latency; only alerts and metadata traverse the network, not full video streams.

  3. 3

    Act

    Detections trigger AXIS Entry responses—lockdowns, door control, and coordinated physical action.

Why Axis + Kognition

Why Axis + Kognition AI?

  • Complete Axis ecosystem

    Use the full Axis platform—cameras optimized for AI, AXIS Camera Station VMS, and AXIS Entry access control in one unified solution.

  • Bandwidth efficiency

    Only alerts and metadata traverse the network—not full video streams—saving bandwidth and storage.

  • Flexible architecture

    Deploy edge AI for offline resilience, integrate with Camera Station VMS for centralized monitoring, or coordinate with AXIS Entry for automated response.

  • Simple updates

    Deploy new AI models and updates to Axis devices remotely through standard ACAP management tools.
