Axis Camera Companion (ACC) is a free software from Axis Communications that allows Axis cameras to handle the heavy lifting of motion detection, recording and notifications without the need of a dedicated full-time 24*7 PC or NVR to do this. The program can be installed on any Windows PC where you want to view the recordings. The advantages are huge as you don’t have to rely on a single point of failure for recording, you don’t have to have a PC dedicated as a network video recorder, saving wear and tear, electricity and costs. Axis has now introduced mobile apps for Apple iPhone and Android devices for use with Axis Camera Companion and hosted video solutions. The mobile surveillance apps allow the user to easily switch from live view to recorded videos from any location within their surveillance system. The integrated timeline notifies about triggered events and allows the user to take immediate action. Single image and video of interest can easily be stored to their mobile device and shared when needed.
To further strengthen its offering, Axis has launched the mobile apps with the updated Axis Camera Companion 2.2, which supports Axis Mobile Streaming. This technology is specially designed to give quick and easy access to live and recorded high-definition videos even for installations where bandwidth is limited.
