AXIS Camera Station 5 - Installation and migration guide

Go to Axis documentation

Overview

The installation file includes both the client and the server. The client provides access to recordings and live video. The server handles all communication with cameras, video encoders, and auxiliary devices in the system.

You can install the client on the same computer as the server or on separate computers. We recommend that you install the server on a dedicated computer for best performance and stability.
