Axis Setup

Axis cameras work out of the box with TetherX via ONVIF and RTSP. This guide covers additional configuration options for PTZ control, fisheye cameras, and the Companion series.

Native PTZ Control

For Axis PTZ cameras, TetherX can use the native Axis PTZ API instead of ONVIF for more precise control.

Enable Plain Config

1. Create a tunnel to your Axis camera and log in

2. Navigate to Settings → System → Plain config

3. In the left sidebar, select Layout

4. Enable the Plain config enabled checkbox

5. Click Save

Fisheye & 360° Cameras

Axis fisheye cameras provide extensive dewarped view options in their setup interface:

Options include:

• Panorama - Single 180° dewarped view
• Double Panorama - Split view showing two 180° sections
• Quad - Four separate quadrant views
• View Areas - Custom cropped regions
• Corner Views - Left, right, or double corner views
• Corridor - Vertical orientation for hallways

See Fisheye & 360° Cameras for general fisheye configuration and dewarping options.

Axis Companion Cameras

To record from the Axis Companion range, add the following parameter to your stream URLs:

?Axis-Orig-Sw=true

Add this to the end of both the analytics path and recording path. Contact TetherX if you need assistance.

Axis M3047-P Stream Paths

Use these paths for both analytics and recording on the M3047-P:
