AXIS 213 PTZ 7

Accessing the camera

The AXIS 213 PTZ can be used with most standard operating systems and supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x or later, Netscape 7.x or later and Mozilla 1.4 or later.

Note: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, you must set your browser to allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed, AMC also installs an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video stream. As a license is required for each instance of the decoder, the product administrator may have dis- abled the installation. If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help for more information.

Access from a browser

1.Start a browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape Navigator).

2.Enter the IP address or host name of the AXIS 213 PTZ in the Location/ Address field of your browser.

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

4.A video image is displayed in your

browser.

Notes:

•User functions in the AXIS 213 PTZ may have been customized to meet the specific require- ments of the application. Consequently, many of the examples and functions in this section may differ from those displayed in your Live View page.

•If the AXIS 213 PTZ is to be placed upright on a desktop, the image must be rotated.

Go to Setup > Video & Image and set Rotate image to 180 degrees.

Setting the 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 page 34.

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.
