AXIS Site Designer and CamStreamer: Professional System Design Made Simple

28 Apr 2026 - 05:04

Planning a modern surveillance system is no longer just about hardware, it's about designing a dual-purpose ecosystem. The right software layer allows a single infrastructure to bridge the gap between secure internal monitoring and professional public streaming. By integrating dynamic graphics and data overlays, integrators can deliver a solution that serves both as a robust security tool and a high-quality platform for public-facing content.

To make the design process as smooth as possible, CamStreamer has become a proud part of the AXIS Site Designer tool. This free tool from Axis Communications is used by professionals worldwide to efficiently design surveillance systems.

Streamlining Your Workflow: Including CamStreamer apps in Project Planning

Previously, integrators had to calculate licenses for CamStreamer applications separately, outside of the main project tool. Now, everything is in one place. If your client requires, for example, a camera for a construction site livestream or a sporting event, you can select the appropriate model in AXIS Site Designer and immediately assign the necessary software to it. 

How it works in practice

The process is very intuitive and takes only a few seconds:

1. In the AXIS Site Designer interface, click on the camera you want to add the application to.
2. Open the "Applications" tab.
3. Click "Add partner apps" and select the CamStreamer ACAPs you wish to add.
4. In the reports section, you will see the apps assigned to the respective hardware.

Pricing and Professional Reports

One of the greatest advantages is managing pricing in the "Reports" section. For example, if you are selling a CamStreamer App and CamOverlay App bundle for a specific price (e.g., $499), you can easily specify this pricing and divide it among the apps. The result is a professional Bill of Materials and a complete technical specification that you can present directly to the client.

This integration confirms our commitment to staying close to the needs of integrators and maximizing the ease of their daily work with our products.
