Has one ever watched how an ant colony works together? Each ant can lift up to 5,000 times its body weight on its own, but when this strength is applied at scale against a common goal, the workforce is invincible. In many ways, Axis applied these same principles when creating the Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP) more than a decade ago, recognising the benefits of harnessing the power and creativity of developers to create innovative solutions.
Axis Communications talked with Anders Johansson, Global Product Manager, Edge Applications at Axis about the origin and development of this pioneering project, and the hopes for its future. ACAP is an open application platform that enables developers to create applications that can be downloaded to a range of Axis devices - from network cameras to video encoders.
