While the program is downloading, create an account on Axis’s website.

• Use the same email address that received this guide

• Set up two-factor authentication and choose email as the verification method

Install Axis Camera Station Edge on your computer, then open the program.

When prompted, log in using the account you just created on axis.com.

On the Get Started page, do not click Get Started.
Your site has already been created for you.

In the top-right corner, click the profile icon, then select Invitations.
Accept the invitation to the site that was created for you.

If the site does not open automatically, close Axis Camera Station Edge and open it again.

When you log in, you may see up to three tabs, depending on your permissions.

The Live View tab lets you:

• Select the camera you want to view

• Move the camera or zoom in to see the area you want to watch

Keep in mind that the cameras are programmed to automatically return to the HOME position after 25 minutes of inactivity.

The Recordings tab lets you view footage recorded by your cameras.

• Light blue shows continuous recording

• Red shows where motion was detected

Recording settings can be changed in the Configuration tab.

By default, recordings are saved to:
C:\Users\"user"\Documents\AXIS Companion - Clips

To save a recording:

1. Click the floppy disk icon on the right.
2. Select the camera(s) you want to save footage from on the left.
3. Use the sliders to choose the section of video you want to save.

You can zoom in and out on the timeline using your mouse scroll wheel to make more precise selections.

The Configuration tab includes many settings, but we recommend only using the basic options. Your system has already been programmed with settings that work best for most deployments.

From this tab, you can:

• Choose continuous recording, motion recording, or both

• Update the camera firmware by clicking Upgrade device software

If an update is available, you’ll see a blue notification next to Upgrade device software.

Important: Before deploying cameras in the field, we recommend plugging them in at the office the day before deployment to allow time for any updates to complete.

At the beginning of every deployment, you will need to set a Home Position for the camera. This is the position the camera will return to automatically.

To set the home position:

1. Go to the Configuration tab.
2. Select Cameras, then Image on the left.
3. On the right side, click PTZ presets.
4. Move the camera the same way you do in the Live View tab.
5. Enter a name for the preset.
   • The name must be different from all other presets.
6. In the Preset position drop-down, select the preset you just created.
7. Click Set as home. 

To manage users on your site, go to the Configuration tab and select Users.

To add a user:

1. Click Add.
2. Enter the user’s email address.
3. Select their access level.

• • Each access level is based on the tabs shown in the top-left of the application.

To remove a user’s access, click the X next to their name.

You can also change a user’s permissions by clicking the Edit icon next to their name.
