Setting the Focus/Zoom

To focus the AXIS 225FD, follow the instructions below.

1. From the Basic Configuration page in the setup tools, open the Focus adjustment page.
2. Set the DC-Iris to Disabled and click Save.
3. Loosen the zoom puller on the lens by turning it

anti-clockwise. Adjust the zoom setting as required.

Re-tighten the zoom puller.

4. Loosen the focus puller on the lens. Adjust the focus as

required. Re-tighten the focus puller.

5. From the Focus adjustment page, set the DC-Iris to Enabled

and click Save.

Notes:

• The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This

opens the iris to its maximum, which gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct
focusing. When the focus is set with this method it will then be maintained in any light conditions.

• Due to the dome’s refraction, the image might appear slightly out of focus once the dome has been placed. To

compensate, focus on an object slightly closer than the intended area.

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.
