Core Technologies for Axis Dev

[efgarro]

I am interested in learning more about developing applications for Axis Cameras but first I would like to make sure that I have the right programing skills to do so. I am currently familiar with the following technologies:

Typescript / JS
React
NodeJS
Express
Postgres

Based on the information that I can find at Axis site, I estimate that I also need to learn C or C++. Could you please advise me as to which other technologies do I need.

My immediate objective is to write a web app capable of reading the response from Axis Object Analytics API and create a histogram plot with the provided data.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Eduardo

Answers to your questions will most often come from the community, from developers like yourself. You will, from time to time, find that Axis employees answers some of the questions, but this is not a guarantee. Think of the discussion forum as a complement to other support channels, not a replacement to any of them.

If your question remains unanswered for a period of time, please revisit it to see whether it can be improved by following the guidelines listed in Axis support guidelines.

HI @efgarro ,

Regarding "My immediate objective is to write a web app capable of reading the response from Axis Object Analytics API and create a histogram plot with the provided data."

On Edge(inside Axis Camera):

Native SDK:

1. Inside ACAP:
   ACAP Native SDK
   Event API
   C/C++,HTML5/JS and following the examples are good to go 👍

2. Using HTML5 on ACAP-hosted webpages:
   HTML5/JS is good to go 👍 ws: a Node.js WebSocket library simple-mqtt-websocket-example

Computer Vision SDK:

ACAP Computer Vision SDK
Containerize a Node.js application
Docker knowledge with Containerizing language-specific applications is good to go 😄

On Server:

1. Use MQTT to subscribe to the metadata:
   VAPIX Documentation
   NodeJS is good to go 👍 MQTT.js

2. WebSocket to get metadata:
   VAPIX Documentation
   NodeJS is good to go 👍 ws: a Node.js WebSocket library

3. GStreamer for metadata using RTSP:
   VAPIX Documentation
   NodeJS is good to go 👍 Using GStreamer in Node.js
