How to install and configure Corvid Gateway cloud

Step-by-step guide to installing the Cloud Gateway app on Axis cameras, configuring the correct environment (Production/Staging/Dev)

Requirements

Please validate your network follows the recommendations depicted on this guide

Identify the right package

The Cloud Gateway for Axis ships as an .eap file. Two SDK versions exist depending on the camera firmware. To check the Axis OS version, open the camera web UI and go to System → About.

Package

Axis OS

Architecture

SDK 2 — armv7hf

≤ 9.x

32-bit (armv7hf)

SDK 2 — aarch64

≤ 9.x

64-bit (aarch64)

SDK 3 — aarch64

10 or higher

64-bit (aarch64)

How to choose:

  • If Axis OS is version 9 or lower → use the SDK 2 package

  • If Axis OS is version 10 or higher → use the SDK 3 package

  • If unsure of the architecture → try SDK 2 armv7hf first; if install fails with Invalid embedded development version , switch to aarch64

Install the package

  1. Open the camera web interface: http://<camera-ip>

  2. Log in with admin credentials

  3. Go to Apps → click Add app (or +)

The MAC address is the camera's unique identifier in the Corvid system. You will need it in Part 4.

  1. In the camera web UI, go to System → Network

  2. The MAC address is listed under the network interface (e.g. AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF)
