Hi,

I have a client who wants to fetch current images of all cameras remotely every 30 mins. How can I integrate with AXIS VMS. I have IP, User, and password.

Hi @nikhilmehta15 ,
Do you want to integrate with the Axis cameras directly or using the AXIS Camera Station Pro?

Refer 320 if you want access to AXIS Camera Station Pro APIs.

Regarding the ACS API document:

ACS API is not generally available. Please contact your Axis representative for information on how to get further support.

@vivekatoffice : Thanks for quick reply. This solves my purpose. Also Is there any API for fetching all cameras so that there current snapshots could be fetched programmatically.

[vivekatoffice]

In AXIS Camera Station Pro API and using VAPIX it is possible.

In VAPIX APIs you will use the IP Address, username, and password of individual Axis cameras.

In AXIS Camera Station Pro APIs, You get the camera ID for all cameras and then use another API to fetch the snapshot using the camera ID, ACS username, and ACS password.

@vivekatoffice Thanks. I am using AXIS Camera Station Pro APIs. Can you provide similar API end point like Snapshot to fetch all Cameras.

@nikhilmehta15 I have never tested but I feel you can use "cameraIds":[{"Id":""}] with all cameras IDs and try.

[nikhilmehta15]

@vivekatoffice : I want to fetch all the the camera ids for that I am looking for an API which can give me all the cameras. so that i can fetch all the ids.
