What is the Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP)?

The Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP) is designed specifically to enable third-party applications to be developed and run directly on Axis network cameras. This platform provides a flexible environment for developers to create applications that can enhance the functionality of the cameras, add new features, or integrate with other systems.

ACAP allows for customization and expansion of the cameras' capabilities beyond their standard features, making them adaptable to various specific needs in security and surveillance. This direct integration with the camera's operating system ensures that applications can leverage the camera's processing power, storage, and connectivity more effectively than they would if they were running on an external server.

The other options describe functionalities that do not pertain to ACAP's primary purpose. Managing network bandwidth, enhancing video quality, and configuring network settings do not capture the essence of what ACAP provides—a platform for innovation through third-party application development tailored for the Axis camera ecosystem.
