Add Axis Camera Device 2 times

Hello,

I only can add one axis camera device…
When I want add a second axis camera device the following message come up:

Axis
Device is already configured

I have one configured, but with other IP-Adress.

What can I do?

What integration are you using?

Give the local IP Address, and MAC address of each of your cameras, your router, and your HomeAssiistant server.

Do you have Static IP Addresses allocated, or just use DHCP?

Do you have VLANs, etc configured?

Hello, I use the axis integration.

I enter the local ip address these are static. Both are different. One is working and the other not.
But when I delete the working one I can add the other one.
So I thinking it’s a internally problem.

I would agree, and it looks like it has already been flagged as an issue with the developer. You may wish to follow progress on GitHub for a fix, or consider rolling back to when it worked last until a fix is released.

AXIS devices not added properly coming in to HA again after earlier removal from HA

integration: axis

### The problem I deleted from Home Assistant a few AXIS cameras and later re-a…dded them however upon re-adding them only some sensors re-appear, the camera for example is not showing. Also sometimes the device names get mixed up with another AXIS device name which is strange. It appears that when deleting an AXIS device from Home Assistant that some data somewhere, likely the MAC address of the AXIS device, is not removed and when re-adding the same device later, even with a different IP address the issue appears. Using a totally new AXIS device of the same model is no issue which seems to indicate that the AXIS device MAC address still resides somewhere on Home Assistant after removal and causes a problem when re-adding. I am running Home Assistant OS 16.3, Core 2026.1.1, Supervisor 2026.01.0. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2026.1.1 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running? Home Assistant OS ### Integration causing the issue Axis ### Link to integration documentation on our website https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/axis/ ### Diagnostics information Same issue as #150810 which was closed but issue is still not fixed hence raising a new issue for the same (I do not have permission to re-open issue #150810). ### Example YAML snippet ```yaml ``` ### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us? ```txt ``` ### Additional information _No response_

As a side comment, I see that integration is getting ‘CLAUDIFIED’ as we speak. Amusing.

Thanks for the information.

Do you know how I can send ptz signals to the axis camera?

I want to change position of camera when my motion detection from garden are active…

I don’t have an Axis camera connected to my system right now. Haven’t touched one for a few years, but yes they are robust and flexible, so much so that the last one I had installed was stolen, but served its role well, capturing a clear picture of the offender for quick apprehension within the hour. Dumb thief vandalised and stole from the school he finished at the last year, and the principal instantly recognised him! Open and shut case your honor.

For your camera model, are these sensors and controls exposed to the integration? If so, yes, if not, you may have to raise a request to add it.
