Version: ACAP version 4

Choose SDK

The ACAP SDK images are based on Ubuntu and contain the environment needed for building an AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) application. All images are available on Docker Hub.

An SDK image can be used as a basis for custom built images to run your application, or as a developer environment inside the container. See examples in the sections below for help on how to do this.

There are two methods to create ACAP applications. Using the standard method, ACAP Native SDK, or using the container application variant, ACAP Computer Vision SDK. This documentation focuses mainly on the ACAP Native SDK. For documentation about ACAP Computer Vision SDK, see the separate section called Computer Vision SDK.

info

Note on ACAP Computer Vision SDK:

  • ACAP Computer Vision SDK is deprecated in ACAP version 12 and its components has been refactored. For more information see Develop container applications in the ACAP version 12 documentation.
  • Despite it's name, Computer Vision SDK is not the only way to develop computer vision applications. The Native SDK is just as capable.
