AXIS M32 Series

Setting the root password over a secure connection

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This is done in the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is accessed for the first time.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown below.

To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:

1.Click the Create self-signed certificate button.

2.Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can now be set securely. All traffic to and from the network camera is encrypted from this point on.

3.Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.

To create an HTTPS connection, start by clicking this button.

To configure the password directly via an unencrypted connection, enter the password here.

Note:

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.

The default administrator user root cannot be deleted.

If the password for root is lost, the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 35.

Adjusting the image

Open the Live View page in the web interface and make the following adjustments on the camera.

1.Loosen the locking screw and tilt adjustment screws.

2.Turn the lens to the desired position.

3.Gently tighten the locking screw and tilt adjustment screws to secure the camera’s position.

4.Turn the image balance ring to set the horizontal position.

5.To set the focus and zoom, loosen the zoom and focus pullers counter clockwise and rotate the rings. Lock the focus and zoom pullers in position by rotating the screws clockwise.

Due to the dome's tendency to refract light, the image might appear slightly out of focus once the dome has been mounted. To compensate, focus on an object slightly closer than the intended area.
