Axis MSRP Price Overlay — Chrome Extension

01 — WHAT IT DOES

Every axis.com surface,
one shared price catalog

Product Selector, search, product/category pages, and Compare Products tables — everything updates live, no page reload when you flip currency, refresh chipset data, or touch the chipset filter.

Axis Product Selector showing M32, M42, and M43 series cards, every one with an ARTPEC-8 chipset badge and a yellow price badge (screenshot carried over from an earlier build; badge style is unchanged in v3.10.1)

FEATURE / 01

Inline MSRP + chipset badges

Every recognized product tile gets a yellow price badge — hover for the Axis part number — plus a chipset label where CamStreamer has data, with a checkmark for CamStreamer Support.

FEATURE / 02

Three-currency toggle + lookup from the toolbar

One click switches € EUR / $ USD / ¥ JPY everywhere at once. EUR is the one "final" list-price figure; USD and JPY are always FX-derived approximations, so they're marked with a leading ~ and JPY is shown in shortened 万 (man) units — e.g. ~¥37.3万 instead of a six-digit yen figure. First-run currency defaults to your locale (JPY for Japanese locales, USD for the Americas, EUR everywhere else) until you pick one yourself. Search the full catalog by model name or part number, on any page, and toggle light/dark theme from the same header.

Floating chipset filter panel with checkboxes for ARTPEC families and Ambarella, plus a CamStreamer Support preset

FEATURE / 03

Multi-select chipset filter + field-of-view slider

ARTPEC-9 / -8 / -6-7 / older / Ambarella, all at once — unlike the site's single-select dropdown. One click on CamStreamer Support selects every chipset family the apps actually run on. The same floating panel on the Product Selector also has a minimum field-of-view slider, so you can rule out cameras whose published FOV doesn't reach wide enough for the shot — models with no FOV data yet simply stay visible rather than disappearing.

axis.com search results for P1388, each result title ending in a yellow EUR price badge

FEATURE / 04

Badges on axis.com search too

Search for a model (M1137) or a whole series (Q35) — titles get an exact price, a variant range, or a "from €X" badge.

AXIS Q16 series category page with every product card showing a black grouped chipset badge (ARTPEC 6-9, checkmarked) and a yellow price badge pinned to the top of the card

FEATURE / 05

Product and category pages, badged too

Every model tile on a hub page (Box cameras) or series page gets a top-of-card price + chipset badge — a specific price for one model, or a "from €X" range for a whole series card — without ever covering the site's own captions.

AXIS Q16 Box Camera Series breadcrumb trail showing grouped chipset badges (ARTPEC 6-9, ARTPEC 3-5) and a yellow 'from €1,209.00 to €4,229.00' price range badge

FEATURE / 06

Series price range in the breadcrumb, plus Compare Products rows

A series page's breadcrumb trail gets the full price range and every chipset used across the series in one glance. Open the Compare Products table on the same page and it gains two new rows at the top — Chipset and Price — one column per model.

Japanese axis.com Box camera category page (ボックス型カメラ) with grouped chipset badges and a yellow 'from ~¥6万 to ~¥78.8万' range badge in the breadcrumb, and yen price badges on every product card

FEATURE / 07

Works on every axis.com locale — including Japanese

Badges are placed by CSS class and URL slug, never by matching English text, so a fully translated page like ボックス型カメラ gets the same breadcrumb range and card badges as its English twin. On first run the currency follows the locale you're browsing — JPY on Japanese pages, USD in the Americas, EUR everywhere else — and picking a currency yourself overrides it for good.

AXIS M11 Series cards on a Japanese axis.com page, each with an ARTPEC-6/7 checkmarked chipset badge and a yen price badge reading ~¥9.3万 or ~¥11.2万

FEATURE / 08

Yen in 万 units, not six digits

Yen figures are rounded up to the nearest ¥1,000 and written in shortened 万 (man) units — ~¥9.3万 rather than ¥93,000 — so a price badge stays the same size in every currency. The leading ~ is a reminder that yen is converted live from the EUR list price at the latest ECB reference rate, not quoted from a published Japanese price list. Switching to ¥ JPY also swaps the popup's disclaimer to Japanese.

FEATURE / 09

Or hide every price, and keep the rest

A fourth 🚫 option in the same currency row switches prices off across the whole extension — Product Selector badges, search results, product and category pages, the series breadcrumb, both comparison tables, the popup list and the map tool. Chipset badges, the chipset filter and the field-of-view tools all keep working untouched, so it stays a full camera-picking tool for anyone who simply doesn't deal with pricing. Cheapest-first sorting still works too, since it reveals no numbers.

The FOV Map Camera Selector rendered entirely in Japanese — panel headings 微調整 and 絞り込み・並べ替え, a 該当するAxisモデル results stripe, and camera cards labelled 画角, パノラマ, マルチセンサー and PTZ · パン動作で対応 with yen prices

FEATURE / 10

Fully Japanese, when it should be

Every surface — popup, price-update page, the map tool and every badge and tooltip injected into axis.com — switches to Japanese whenever any one of three things is true: ¥ JPY is the selected currency, the browser's own UI language is Japanese, or you're on the /ja-jp/ locale of axis.com. There's no separate language switch to remember, and it flips live on already-open tabs. Product names, model numbers and terms like ARTPEC and CamStreamer stay in roman script, the way Japanese technical UI normally treats them.

11 — FOV MAP

Draw the area you need covered.
Get the cameras that cover it.

Open the map tool from the popup, drop a pin where the camera goes, then drag out the two edges of the ground you actually need to watch. It works out the horizontal angle that requires and ranks every Axis model whose published field of view can deliver it.

The FOV Map Camera Selector: a Prague street map with a yellow coverage wedge drawn from a camera pin, collapsible panels for fine-tuning the 150.4 degree angle and 809 m depth, and a horizontally scrolling stripe of matching camera cards along the bottom

Wider than a wedge, when you need it. Keep dragging an edge handle outward and the shape opens straight through 180° and on to a full circle, instead of flipping to the far side. That's what lets a genuine 360° model be chosen for the reason it exists.
PTZ and 360 models are treated as what they are. A pan/tilt/zoom camera can reach anywhere in a full circle, so it matches any angle — but when it only gets there by turning, the card says PTZ · by panning, because it watches one direction at a time rather than the whole area at once. Cameras that cover the area outright always rank above it.
Cards you can act on. Each result shows the product photo, the model's FOV range, its chipset and price as the same badges you see on axis.com, plus series and part number. The model name links to its page on axis.com, and clicking the part number copies the SKU straight to your clipboard.
Sorted how you're thinking. Rank by tightest fit — the narrowest lens that still does the job, so you're not over-specifying — or by price, low to high. Narrow to CamStreamer-capable models with one checkbox.

13 — MONTHLY UPDATES

Drop in any AXIS Price List — no reinstall

Axis publishes a new AXIS Price List roughly every month. Since v2.0.0, the extension parses it itself: open the settings page from the toolbar popup's ⚙ button and drag the new file in.

Extension settings page with a drop zone for the monthly AXIS Price List .xls file, a source label field, and Apply update / Revert to bundled prices buttons

Known format, recognized automatically. Drop the usual monthly .xls/.xlsx file and it reads the "All products" sheet, detects the name/part-number/price columns, and figures out EUR vs. USD vs. JPY on its own.
Anything else, mapped by hand. A different layout or a one-off export brings up a column-mapping panel with a live preview, so you can point out the sheet, header row, price/part-number columns, and source currency (EUR/USD/JPY) yourself — EUR stays the default, since the bundled catalog itself is EUR-sourced.
Coverage report before you commit. See how many SKUs matched by part number vs. name fallback, a breakdown by product section, and anything unmatched — then Apply update, or Revert to bundled prices at any time.
Runs entirely in your browser. Parsing happens locally via a bundled copy of SheetJS — the file itself never leaves your machine. The only network call is an FX reference-rate lookup (ECB data via api.frankfurter.dev, no API key) — EUR/USD, plus EUR/JPY if the file is JPY-sourced.

15 — DATA SOURCES

Where the numbers come from

PRICES / EUR

The "All products" sheet of the AXIS Price List — 290 models and 377 SKUs, of which 325 carry a EUR list price (every product section has EUR except 2N, plus a few individual non-camera SKUs). Bundled with July 2026 pricing by default and refreshable any month by dropping in a new file. This is the one "final" list-price figure everything else is derived from.

PRICES / USD + JPY

Both are approximations, marked with a leading ~. USD is baked in at bundle-build time (1 EUR ≈ 1.1387 USD, per xe.com) — FX-derived from EUR, except for the handful of SKUs with no EUR entry, which keep their original Axis US list figure. JPY is converted live from EUR using whatever rate api.frankfurter.dev last returned, shown in shortened 万 units and refreshed weekly alongside chipset data.

FIELD OF VIEW

fov-data.js is hand-curated: every figure is read off that model's own Technical specifications → Lens → Horizontal field of view row on axis.com, because the Product Selector loads FOV from an internal authenticated API there's no public feed for. 93 entries currently resolve to 99 of the 377 SKUs, and the whole pan/tilt/zoom range is now covered (23 of 23). Models with no entry yet are simply excluded from the map tool rather than guessed at.

CHIPSETS

chipset-data.js bundles a snapshot parsed from camstreamer.com's supported-hardware list — refreshed weekly by the background service worker, or on demand from the popup.
