Set the Root Password

To access the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Configure Root

Password dialog, which opens when the product is accessed for the first time.

To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS

certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The

HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information. See HTTPS on page 48.

The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the product must be

reset to the factory default settings. See Reset to Factory Default Settings on page 59.

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the dialog.

To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:

1. Click Use HTTPS.

A temporary certificate (valid for one year) is created, enabling encryption of all traffic to and from the product, and the

password can now be set securely.

2. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling.

3. Click OK. The password has now been configured.

This setting is defined the first time the product is accessed. Depending on how the Axis product is installed, select ceiling or wall .

To change these settings, the product must be restored to the original factory default settings. To reset or restore the product, go to

Setup > System Options > Maintenance in the product's web pages. For information about reset and restore, see Maintenance on

page 57.

Capture mode defines the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. The capture mode setting also

affects the camera's angle of view.

Select the desired capture mode from the drop-down list and click OK.

If you select another capture mode than default, the product needs to reboot for the changes to take effect.
