AXIS AXIS Network & System Integration 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which standard protocol does AXIS use to allow third-party VMS platforms to communicate with AXIS cameras?
- ONVIF (Correct answer)
- PSIA
- BACnet
- Modbus
Correct answer: ONVIF
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is the open standard that enables AXIS cameras to integrate with third-party video management systems.
Question 2: What is AXIS ACAP (AXIS Camera Application Platform)?
- A VMS software platform
- A platform for installing third-party applications on AXIS cameras (Correct answer)
- A cloud storage service
- A network switch firmware
Correct answer: A platform for installing third-party applications on AXIS cameras
AXIS ACAP allows third-party developers to create and install custom analytics and applications directly on compatible AXIS camera hardware.
Question 3: Which AXIS feature allows a camera to automatically send alerts and trigger actions when specific events such as motion are detected?
- AXIS Live View
- AXIS Event System (Action Rules) (Correct answer)
- AXIS Guard Suite
- AXIS Companion
Correct answer: AXIS Event System (Action Rules)
AXIS Event System (Action Rules) triggers configured actions like sending emails or activating outputs when defined conditions are detected.
Question 4: What AXIS edge storage solution does AXIS recommend as a local buffer in case of network or server failure?
- USB flash drive
- SD card edge storage (Correct answer)
- Cloud storage only
- NAS over Wi-Fi
Correct answer: SD card edge storage
SD card edge storage allows AXIS cameras to continue recording locally during network outages, with footage synchronized to the server once connectivity is restored.
Question 5: What cryptographic protocol does AXIS use with HTTPS to encrypt web interface and API communications?
- MD5 hashing
- TLS (Transport Layer Security) (Correct answer)
- Base64 encoding
- FTP over SSH
Correct answer: TLS (Transport Layer Security)
AXIS cameras use HTTPS with TLS encryption to protect credentials and configuration data in transit.
Question 6: Which AXIS camera hardware feature allows direct integration with external devices like lights or door strikes?
- I/O (Input/Output) ports (Correct answer)
- USB 3.0
- HDMI output
- Bluetooth
Correct answer: I/O (Input/Output) ports
AXIS camera I/O ports enable hardware integration with external devices, allowing cameras to trigger alarms, lights, or door locks based on events.
