![]() ![]() It’s a Linux-based OS that’s built around openness, transparency and cybersecurity.ĪXIS OS features different firmware tracks depending on your needs. The long-term support (LTS) tracks maximize stability and focus on keeping a well-integrated 3rd party system by providing bug fixes and security patches. The active track on the other hand provides access to the newest state-of-the-art features and functionalities as well as bug fixes and security patches, which defines the active track as the software-development-focused track.ĪXIS OS support overview The active track releases a new version every 2–3 months where only the latest version is supported. The LTS tracks are created every two years and are supported and maintained for about 5 years. As an exception, the support period for LTS 2016 has been extended one year. ![]() If upgrading via the web interface it is required to always go through each major LTS track. It is also recommended to avoid upgrading with longer version gaps, such as upgrading directly from AXIS OS 10.5 to AXIS OS 10.9. Instead, use all available releases in-between your actual AXIS OS version and the target release of the Axis device. An upgrade from AXIS OS 10.5 to AXIS OS 10.9 should be performed by upgrading through the available AXIS OS 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 if they are available on Maintaining a firmware upgrade strategy ensures that your Axis product receives continuous improvements to its firmware. Axis Technical Services will also recommend that you update to the latest firmware when reporting issues related to an Axis product. But since there may be several coexisting firmware tracks, which "latest firmware" should you choose? If you use an LTS track, you should normally update to the latest firmware version on the same AXIS LTS track. If you intend to use the AXIS OS active track, you should update to the latest available firmware. Question: With my Axis product running on the LTS 2020 (9.80) track, should I consider updating to the latest AXIS OS active track firmware?Īnswer: It is recommended to stay on the LTS 2020 (9.80) track but update to the latest firmware version on that track as long as it is maintained, unless there is a need for new features available from the AXIS OS active track. Question: I would like to run my Axis product on an LTS track, but currently there is no LTS track available?Īnswer: It is recommended to continuously update the product on the AXIS OS active track until an LTS track is available. ![]() A new LTS track is available every two years. Question: With my Axis product running on the LTS 2020 (9.80) track, should I consider updating to the new LTS track?Īnswer: Yes, but you should coordinate the change with your other schedules, e.g., VMS upgrade, network maintenance, and camera replacement cycle. With time, there will be several LTS tracks available for a product. All LTS tracks maintain a high level of stability through long-term bug fixing without adding new features. At some point though, technical limitations may make it impossible to update certain components of the firmware. In a long-term perspective, it is therefore recommended to switch to a newer LTS track. Please note that a newer LTS track may include new features, changes to default settings, and performance adjustments that could affect compatibility with your system. The products should be updated in a controlled and supervised manner after verification that firmware on the new LTS track works as expected in your environment. Recommended upgrade path for switching LTS tracks when a new LTS track is available. ![]()
