# The Tailscale installer ACAP
|
|
|
|
This ACAP packages the scripts and files required to install the Tailscale VPN client on Axis Cameras.
|
|
|
|
Current version 1.44.0
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
Adding a VPN client directly to the camera allows secure remote access to the device without requiring any other equipment or network configuration.
|
|
Tailscale achieves this in a secure, simple to setup and easy to use way.
|
|
Tailscale is based on WireGuard VPN tunneling technology.

where `<device ip>` is the IP address of the Axis device, `<username>` is the root username and `<password>` is the root password. Please

|
When uninstalling the ACAP, all changes and files are removed from the camera.

The eap files will be updated from time to time and simply installing the new version over the old will update all files.
