ACAP version 3
Welcome to the AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) documentation. The ACAP SDK is an open development framework designed to empower developers to create custom applications that run directly on Axis network devices, such as our cameras and intercoms. By leveraging the processing capabilities of these devices, ACAP applications enable edge-based computing with on-device, local processing of data, reducing latency, and minimizing bandwidth usage.
When developing ACAP applications, it is important to use a supported SDK version. What SDK version is supported depends on which AXIS OS LTS is targeted. See the figure below to find what SDK version is right for you:
| AXIS OS | ACAP version | SDK Version | Documentation version |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.x | 12.x | ACAP Native SDK 12.x | ACAP version 12 Documentation |
| 11.11 LTS | 4.15 | ACAP Native SDK 1.15 | ACAP version 4 Documentation |
| 10.12 LTS | 3.5 | ACAP SDK 3.5 | Current documentation version |
| 9.80 LTS | 3.1 | ACAP SDK 3.1 | Current documentation version |
