AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W - Accessing the Camera

Setting the root password

1.When accessing the camera for the first time, the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog appears.

2.Enter a password and re-enter to confirm. Click OK. The Enter Network Password dialog appears.

3.Enter the User name: root

4.Enter the password set in step 2, and click OK. If the password is lost, the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 35.

Notes:

•The default administrator user name ‘root’ is permanent and cannot be deleted.

•While setting the root password, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC), if you are prompted to. You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Access from the Internet

Once connected, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
