AXIS Device Manager Extend solution provides system administrators with an interface for discovering, configuring, and operating Axis devices on their organization’s networks.
The AXIS Device Manager Extend desktop app
The desktop app is a software utility program that can be used as an on-demand, or always available user interface for managing the system. It can be run on a dedicated machine together with a locally installed edge host, or separately from the edge host on a remotely connected laptop. The client presents the user with the overall status of the system and readily available management actions.
The edge host component in AXIS Device Manager Extend is an always available, on-premise management service that is responsible for maintaining local devices, such as cameras. The AXIS Device Manager Extend edge host also acts as a link to the Axis remote management service, where the same API functionality supports remote administration of sites via the Axis service platform.
Outgoing network access
We are in ongoing development of the application, and we therefore advise you to allow firewall access to outgoing network connections for the AXIS Device Manager Extend desktop app and any edge host.
