Liquid Leak Detection on Axis ARTPEC-9
VisionAery Liquid Leak Detection on the Axis ARTPEC-9 platform is a signed app that runs on any ARTPEC-9 camera and can be licensed and managed through Axis platforms.
Available now
Three Detection Types on ARTPEC-9
Detect puddles, spray, and visible vapor day or night. After dark, LLD works with artificial lighting or the camera’s near-infrared (NIR) illumination.
Spray & Visible Vapor — Combined Accuracy
- True positive detection rate
- 98.1%
- False positive rate
- 3.7%
Accuracy was evaluated with 9,147 previously unseen frames, without per-site training, before the alarm engine was applied. Spray and visible vapor share a combined benchmark.

Platform Summary
Turn your Axis ARTPEC-9 camera into on-site leak detection—without a separate server or cloud processing. One signed application detects puddles, spray, and visible vapor, day or night, and easily integrates data and alarms into your existing VMS, SCADA, or other platforms.
- Fit Your Site
- Use fixed views or PTZ presets and tours, with custom detection zones and sensitivity for each area.
- Connect Your Systems
- Send alarms to your VMS through Axis events, share data over MQTT, or trigger custom workflows with HTTP webhooks.
- Control Your Data
- Choose telemetry timing, optional snapshots, and payload identifiers. Add rain data to help reduce nuisance alarms.
- Start With a Free Trial
- Install on AXIS OS 12.11 or later and try all features for seven days. Choose annual or perpetual licensing when you’re ready.

How Licensing Works
Trial License
Redeem your seven-day trial automatically on the ACAP service portal using your camera’s serial number, or ask us directly. Longer trials are granted upon request.
Issue a PO for License Codes
Once you decide you love the Liquid Leak Detection application, send us a purchase order (PO) for annual or perpetual licenses for your desired number of applications.
Redeem the License Codes for Keys
Once you have the codes, you’re ready to redeem the keys to launch your application. Redeem on the ACAP service portal or request keys from VisionAery.
Upload Keys to the LLD Application License Page
Simply paste the key in the license area or upload the key file.

Set Up Zones
Choose your camera views, define what matters in each scene, and tune detection to your environment.
Cover More of Your Site With One Camera
Start with the views you want to monitor. Create presets and guard tours from the LLD application or the camera’s own interface.
PTZ Cameras
Save a preset for each area of interest, then create a guard tour to move between them.
Fixed Cameras
Keep a standard fixed view, or enable PTZ mode to move a view area within the camera’s field of view. Use digital zoom and PTZ controls to frame each area, save presets, and build guard tours—even on a fixed camera.
More detail where it matters. A focused view area retains more pixel density on your area of interest, helping improve detection accuracy. Higher-resolution cameras make PTZ mode more effective.
Watch What Matters. Exclude What Doesn’t.
Draw areas of interest to define where LLD should look for leaks, and exclusion zones to leave unwanted areas out of detection.
Zones That Follow Your Presets
Bind both interest and exclusion zones to individual presets. Each zone activates only when its preset is in view, so one camera can precisely monitor multiple areas across your site.
Independent Monitoring for Each Area
Add as many interest and exclusion zones per preset as you need. Each interest zone has its own alarms, telemetry, and alarm-progression settings.
Balance Detection Speed and Alarm Confidence
Name each area of interest and choose puddle detection, spray detection, or both. Then select the sensitivity that fits the scene and your operational needs.
- High
- Your best chance of quick detection, with a higher chance of false and nuisance alarms.
- Average
- A balance between detection speed and reducing false and nuisance alarms.
- Low
- Takes longer to detect, but prioritizes alarm accuracy with the lowest false and nuisance alarm rates.
Need more control? Open Advanced to customize the settings for your application.
Check your monitored areas after dark, too: artificial lighting or the camera’s NIR illumination should keep the scene clearly visible.
Set Up Integrations
Bring LLD Into the Systems You Already Use
Send alarms to your VMS, connect telemetry to SCADA, or build a custom workflow with three prebuilt data integrations.
Axis Event Engine · VMS Integration
Bring LLD alarms into your existing video management system through the Axis event engine. These stateless alarms work with VMS platforms that support Axis event-engine integration.
- Alarm - All Alarms
- Alarm - All Puddle Alarms
- Alarm - All Spray / Vapor Alarms
- Alarm - Initial Puddle Alarm
- Alarm - Puddle Growth Alarm
Thoroughly tested with Genetec, Milestone, AXIS Camera Station, and Network Optix.
Embedded MQTT Broker · Alarms and Telemetry
Connect alarm and telemetry data to your SCADA or other data platform through the embedded MQTT broker. Send payloads in standard JSON, Sparkplug B, or both to suit your receiving system.
Our MQTT payload and integration were built with MQTT co-inventor Arlen Nipper of Cirrus Link, who personally built our direct integration with Inductive Automation’s Ignition SCADA system.
A guide is also included for converting the MQTT payload into Modbus or OPC UA for systems that use those protocols.
HTTP Webhooks · Custom Workflows
Connect LLD to systems beyond VMS and SCADA. Send an alarm to a webhook receiver that triggers an email, sends an SMS, or archives snapshots and alarm history in an FTP folder.
LLD delivers the webhook; your receiving service handles the notification or file storage.
Use Rain Data to Reduce Nuisance Alarms
Bring rain data into LLD through one of three connections, so the application can account for wet weather when managing alarms.
Camera I/O · Recommended
Connect a rain sensor directly to the camera’s I/O ports when available. This is the preferred connection for local rain sensing.
External I/O Module
Use an I/O module, such as an Advantech ADAM module, to bring a physical rain sensor’s data into the application.
Weather Service API
With internet access from the camera, connect to a web-based weather service. Use weather data for the site’s coordinates to control the application’s rain function.
Data Shaping
Shape LLD data to fit your existing systems—from how often it arrives to the visual context it carries.
Set Your Telemetry Cadence
Choose how often LLD sends telemetry updates to match your monitoring needs.
Include Optional Snapshots
Choose whether to include a Base64-encoded snapshot of the camera’s live view in your data payloads, giving your receiving systems visual context alongside the data.
Customize Topics and IDs
Edit payload topics and identifiers to fit the naming conventions your systems already use.
Pre-Map Your Data
Use the available payload information to map LLD data into the right fields in your receiving systems.
Review Alarm History
See previous alarms in the application to review what happened and when.
