Works with MultiFusion through ONVIF Profile S: live video, PTZ, imaging, events. Profile G is partial (playback from camera storage); Profiles T and M are not supported yet. Cameras without ONVIF can still be added by their RTSP stream address.

Setting up Axis Communications cameras in MultiFusion

1. Prepare the camera. Give it an IP address on a network MultiFusion Server can reach, turn ONVIF on in the camera's web page, and set a user name and password for ONVIF.
2. Axis Communications: one setting to check. On cameras running AXIS OS, create an ONVIF account (System › Accounts › ONVIF accounts) and give MultiFusion that account.
3. Find it. In MultiFusion Server, open Cameras › Add a camera › Find on the network (ONVIF) and choose Search the network. Cameras on the same local network answer ONVIF discovery and appear in the list.
4. Sign in and add. Pick the camera and enter its ONVIF user name and password. MultiFusion reads the camera's profiles and stream addresses and fills in the settings; choose how to record (continuous, on motion, on events or on a schedule) and select Add camera.
5. Use PTZ. For a PTZ camera, the MultiFusion VMS tile shows pan, tilt and zoom controls, presets and preset patrols.
6. Not found? Discovery does not cross subnets or VLANs that block multicast. Use the Stream address (RTSP) tab instead, enter the camera's RTSP address and select Test stream.
