Small guides, tutorials and examples for ACAP development for Axis network cameras.

ACAP guides and examples

This repository serves as a collection of guides for ACAP development for Axis cameras by showing example code. Each explained problem and solution example has their own folder.

Hello world

This is a simple hello world application with deployment and prototyping scripts. The primary difference between this example and Axis official examples is that we have added a tools Makefile for Linux and PowerShell scripts for Windows to make experimentation and deployment easier with targets such as make install and make run on Linux and .\windows_scripts\install-package.ps1 -BinaryOnly -Run on Windows.

This application may be used as a starting point for production ACAPs.

Preuninstall script

This directory shows how the preuninstall script can be used to execute a script before the ACAP application is uninstalled from the camera.

Parameter handler

This directory shows how the built-in parameter handler library can be used in SDK 3 and Native SDK 4. This can be used to keep configurations in your ACAP.

Check glibc version

This is a simple application that prints the build-time and run-time versions of libc and glib used in the camera and in the SDK. This application is helpful for debugging and compatibility checking.

fapp/*

This directory contains examples of how to build ACAP applications with the FApp (FixedIT Application) CLI tools and libraries. These tools makes it easier and faster to work with ACAP applications for multiple targets and multiple application scenarios. Contact us for more information on how you can improve your development environment.

• fapp/hello_world: This is the most basic example.
• fapp/curl_example: This is a slightly more complex example with precompiled libraries and a fapp-manifest.json file.
• fapp/sentry_example: Using our prebuild sentry client to log telemetry data to the cloud.

.github/workflows/*

Example of CI/CD jobs to build and verify the ACAP applications.
