Remote connect services
About remote connect services
Available functionality depends on the XProtect Advanced VMS you are using. See the Product
comparison chart (on page 21) for more information.
The remote connect services feature contains the Axis One-click Camera Connection technology
developed by Axis Communications. It enables the system to retrieve video (and audio) from external
cameras where firewalls and/or router network configuration normally prevents initiating connections to
such cameras. The actual communication takes place via secure tunnel servers (ST servers). ST
servers use VPN. Only devices that hold a valid key work within a VPN. This offers a secure tunnel
