Face recognition on the Axis Cameras you already own.
Cube Cam matches faces across every camera, tells regulars from strangers, and alerts you the moment someone on your watchlist appears — with the clip attached. It runs on the edge and in your cloud, included in the plan. No add-on license, no separate analytics box.
Stop scrubbing footage to find a face.
Most camera systems record everything and leave you to hunt for the moment that matters. Cube Cam recognizes faces as they happen, so the person you care about surfaces on their own — not after an hour of timeline scrubbing.
Analytics bolted on
- A separate analytics server or appliance to buy and run
- Per-feature licenses that add up fast
- Faces tied to a single camera, not matched across the site
- Search means scrubbing hours of recorded video
With Cube Cam
- Runs on the Axis Camera and in your cloud — no extra hardware
- Included in the plan, not a paid add-on
- The same face matched across every camera you own
- Every match tagged and searchable in seconds
Recognition on the edge, memory in the cloud.
The Cube Cam app detects and matches faces right on the Axis Camera, then keeps the events and their metadata in your cloud — so recognition is fast and private, and history is durable.
Detect at the edge
The camera spots faces in real time as people move through frame — no clip has to leave the device for detection to happen.
Match across cameras
Faces are matched against each other and your watchlist, so the same person is recognized everywhere they appear on your site.
Alert with the clip
Get notified on a watchlist match with the moment attached — and search every face event later from any browser.
More than a name on a face.
Regulars vs. strangers
Tell the people who belong from the ones who don’t, so a new face stands out instead of getting lost in the crowd.
Watchlist alerts
Flag the people who matter and get an alert the instant they appear on any camera — with the clip ready to review.
Search by face
Every recognition is tagged, so you can pull every appearance of a person across time and cameras in seconds.
PPE detection too
The same AI flags missing hard hats, vests, and masks for site-safety compliance — included alongside face recognition. See the full platform.
Works with most modern Axis Cameras that support ACAP apps and have an SD card. Check your models.
Face recognition on Axis Cameras — common questions
Do I need a special camera for face recognition?
No. Face recognition runs in the Cube Cam ACAP app on the Axis Camera you already own, plus your cloud. Most modern Axis Cameras that support ACAP apps and have an SD card will work.
Is face recognition an extra add-on?
No. Face recognition is included in the $7 Cloud Monitoring plan — there’s no separate analytics license or server to buy.
Does it work across multiple cameras?
Yes. The same face is matched across every camera on your account, so a person is recognized wherever they appear on your site, not just on one camera.
Where is the face data processed?
Detection and matching happen on the Axis Camera at the edge, and the resulting events and metadata are stored in your cloud. That keeps recognition fast and your event history durable.
