Adding Axis direct-to-cloud cameras
2024-08-08Last updated
Before you can view, record, and upload video to Cloud Storage, you must add your direct-to-cloud (D2C) cameras in Security Center SaaS.
Before you begin
- Have the device serial number and Owner Authentication Key (OAK) ready. You can find this information in the Axis Communications: Owner Authentication Key document that is included with the device. Alternatively, you can obtain this information from the camera's web page.
- If the camera has been activated on another system, perform a factory reset before adding it to Security Center SaaS.
What you should know
- Upgrades the device firmware to the latest version.
Security Center SaaS ensures that all your devices are running the latest firmware, when it becomes available.
- Generates a username and password for the device and deletes all previous
credentials.
Security Center SaaS manages passwords for you, ensuring that all your devices are protected by strong passwords.
For supported devices and firmware, see Supported Device List and Security Center SaaS Device Compatibility Guidelines.
Direct-to-cloud requires a corresponding product subscription.
