10AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA - Using the video server

Notes:

• To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your web browser to

 

allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. AMC is required to

 

use audio in the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA. AMC also provides an MPEG-4 decoder for

 

viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This decoder is installed the first time an MPEG-4 video

 

stream is accessed. Please note that the product administrator may have disabled the

 

installation of the decoder, as a license is required for each instance.

 

• If your computer restricts the use of additional software components, the AXIS

 

241QA/AXIS 241SA can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images.

 

Please see the online help for more information.

 

• When using a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer with AMC, instead of a stop,

 

a snapshot and a full screen button, there is a stop and a play button in the bottom left

 

corner of the live view page. For a description of these buttons see The Live View Page,

 

below.

Setting the root password

1.When accessing a camera for the first time, the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog is displayed on the screen.

Note: Before you enter your password at this point, you can secure configuration of the root password via HTTPS by creating a self-signed certificate. To do so, click the Create self-signed certificate... button in the Create Certificate window, and then proceed as follows.

2.Enter a password, and re-enter to confirm the spelling. Click OK.

3.The ‘Enter Network Password’ dialog appears. Enter the User name: root

Note: The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted.

4.Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the cameras must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 56.
