The on-camera app · Axis ACAP

No NVR. No gateway.
The camera connects itself.

For Axis cameras, the recorder room is optional. Install the Nevtech VMS Connector on the camera itself, enter a one-time pairing code, and it streams encrypted to the cloud — live view, recording, two-way audio, and PTZ with zero hardware between the camera and the internet.

How it works

Three steps. No credentials typed by hand.

Nobody copies stream URLs or camera passwords around. The console mints a short code; the camera redeems it once and provisions itself.

Step 1

Install the app on the camera

Grab the package from the download page — no login needed — and install it from the camera's own web interface. Fleets push it with AXIS Device Manager.

Step 2

Add the camera, get a code

In the console: Add camera → Axis app. You get a one-time pairing code and two addresses to paste into the app's settings. The code is single-use and expires on its own.

Step 3

It appears live

The camera redeems the code, receives its own credentials, and starts streaming — live in your console within seconds, recording from the first frame.

Capabilities

A full VMS camera — from software alone.

Encrypted transport

TLS on the wire

Video, audio, and credentials travel inside TLS from the camera to the cloud. Safe on any network — a branch office, a shared LAN, raw internet.

Two-way audio

Talk through the camera

Operators speak and the camera's speaker plays it; the room's microphone streams back. Intercom-grade interaction with no extra devices.

PTZ + presets

Drive the lens remotely

Pan, tilt, zoom from the console — plus named preset views ("Door", "Window") an operator recalls with one tap.

Outbound-only

No holes in the firewall

The camera dials out; nothing dials in. No port forwarding, no VPN appliance, no inbound rule for IT to veto.

Self-healing

Reconnects on its own

Network blip, camera reboot, cloud maintenance — the app reconnects with backoff on every channel and picks up where it left off.

Re-pairing

Swaps without ceremony

Camera replaced or reset? Re-issue a code from the console — the old credential is voided at the same moment. No stale keys left behind.
