AXIS 212 PTZ - Accessing the Camera

Accessing the Camera

To install the camera on the network, please see the installation guide supplied with your product. The camera can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer with Windows, Safari with Macintosh and Mozilla with other operating systems.

Notes: • To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your workstation.

•QuickTimeTM and Real PlayerTM are also supported for viewing streaming MPEG-4 video and audio.

•If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to use a Java applet for viewing motion JPEG.

•The AXIS 212 PTZ includes one (1) decoder license for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This is automatically installed with AMC. The administrator can disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder, to prevent unlicensed copies being installed.

Access from a browser

1.Start a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla).

2.Enter the IP address or host name of the camera in the Location/Address field of your browser.

To access the camera from a Macintosh computer (Mac OSX), simply click on the Bonjour tab and select the AXIS 212 PTZ from the drop-down list.

3.If this is the first time the camera is accessed, see Setting the Password, on page 8. Otherwise enter your user name and password, as set by the administrator.

Note: The layout of the Live View page may have been customized to specific requirements. Consequently, some of the examples and functions featured here may differ from those displayed on your own Live View page.

Setting the Password

‘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.

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 page 32.
