AXIS 211M - Using the Network Camera

Using the Network Camera

This document includes instructions for using and managing the AXIS 211M. For instructions on how to install the AXIS 211M on your network refer to the Installation Guide which is supplied with the product in the printed format or in PDF format from the Axis Web site at http://www.axis.com

The AXIS 211M can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer with Windows, Safari with Macintosh, and Firefox with other operating systems.

Accessing the AXIS 211M

1.Start a Web browser.

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

3.Enter the user name and password set by the administrator.

4.A video image is displayed in your Web browser.

Notes: • To be able to view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your Web browser to allow ActiveX controls. If your working environment restricts the use of additional software components, you can configure the AXIS 211M to use a Java applet for updating images. Please refer to the online help files for more information.

Set the password

When accessing the AXIS 211M for the first time, the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog will be displayed.

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

2.Enter the user name root in the dialog as requested.

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

3.Enter the password as set above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the AXIS 211M must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 33.

4.If required, click Yes to install AMC (AXIS Media Control), which allows viewing of the video stream in Internet Explorer. You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Accessing the AXIS 211M from the Internet

Once configured, your AXIS 211M is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually done on a specific port. 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, see NAT traversal (port mapping), on page 29. 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
