The system supports using Axis cameras for taking and storing images. Any number of cameras can be connected to the system. The cameras are configured to store pictures to an FTP server, which in this case is the SOL Controller; the controller has built-in FTP support and handles storing the images, indexing them in the database and cleaning up old images after certain time. The cleanup time can be controller via settings and is by default 14 days.

Supported camera models are:

 M3007-V: Ceiling mounted

 M3025-VE: Wall or ceiling mounted

 M3045-V: Wall or ceiling mounted

Most other Axis cameras will probably work as they typically use the same methods to stream live video and store images, but there is no guarantee outside the models specified here.

Note: the system only supports storing images, not video. Images can be configured to be stored as a sequence, which can then be played back as if it were a video.

The cameras need to be configured by using the provided web application.
