Setting the Password

1. When accessing a 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.
4. Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the
cameras must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 50.
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, a 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. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific
port. Please refer to the documentation for your broadband router for further instructions.
