I found out about this site a few months ago after speaking with a very helpful Axis tech support representative. He pointed me to ACAP Share for an app called "Daybreak Me" which allows you to trigger actions based on the current sunset / sunrise time. What a great app..and it's free.
I use this now on every outdoor install with a WDR camera to turn WDR on and off based on sunrise / sunset.

How do you find out if an Axis camera is supported by the MonitorMe app from ACAP Share? Under requirements for the app it says"
"Camera platform: ARTPEC 4/5 (MIPS) & AMBARELLA (ARM)."
Where do you find this information out?
