What is the primary function of AXIS Device Manager?

The primary function of AXIS Device Manager is to automatically find and set IP addresses for Axis network devices. This capability is critical in ensuring that devices such as cameras and encoders are easily discoverable on the network, allowing for efficient configuration and management. By automating the process of IP address assignment, the Device Manager simplifies network setup, especially in larger installations with multiple devices. This functionality plays a vital role in minimizing manual configuration errors and streamlining the deployment of surveillance systems.

While establishing network security protocols, monitoring app performance metrics, and providing software updates are all important aspects of network management, the automatic discovery and configuration of IP addresses stand out as a foundational task that enables the effective deployment and management of Axis products in a networked environment.
