Setting the root 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 Resetting to the factory default settings, on page 30.
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 broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. 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, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 26. See also the AXIS
Internet Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this and other topics, visit the
