Setting the root password

1.When accessing the camera for the first time, the

‘Configure Root Password’ dialog will be displayed on the screen.

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

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

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

4.Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See Resetting to the factory default settings, on page 30.

5.If required, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC). You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Accessing the camera from the Internet

Once installed, 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.

For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 26. See also the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
