AXIS 223M - Accessing the Camera 9

Setting the root password

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

Configure Root Password dialog appears

Note: Before you enter your password at this point, you can secure configuration of the root password via HTTPS by creating a self-signed certificate. To do so, click the Create self-signed certificate...

button in the Create Certificate window, and then proceed as follows.

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 49.

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 router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
