Axis Communications has released AXIS Device Manager. It’s an on-premise device management tool for installation and operational device management, and will replace AXIS Camera management. Moreover, the network security product company adds, the tool aids proactive device and network protection. It is suitable, the developers claim, for managing up to 2,000 Axis network cameras, access control and audio devices on one site — or several thousand devices across sites.
It’s a development of the company’s AXIS Camera Management software platform. Device management functions include:
– Automatically assign IP addresses
– Install, configure, replace and upgrade any single device
– Copy configurations between thousands of devices
– Connect to multiple servers/systems
– Restore points and factory default settings
– Upgrade device firmware
– Manage and update user accounts and passwords; and
– Deploy, and renew HTTPS and IEEE 802.1x certificates
The company stresses that any infrastructure related to safety and security should be managed day-to-day. New AXIS Device Manager can enable central account, password and certificate management, Axis says.
Ola Lennartsson, Global Product Manager, System Management at Axis Communications, said: “Being able to access and efficiently install, adapt and secure all of the devices on your network saves a tremendous amount of time and effort. AXIS Device Manager is the go-to tool for reaching all Axis devices — whatever stage of their lifecycle — and make needed adjustments. In today’s fast-paced world, any device or network that is static is not only old-fashioned, it is potentially prone to cyber threats. Therefore it is important we ensure our customers can use a tool that allows them to easily, rapidly and decisively manage all of the devices on their network. AXIS Device Manager is that tool.”
AXIS Device Manager is available as a free download at AXIS Device Manager.
