The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service

The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service is a free service provided by Axis, which allows you
to quickly and simply install your camera, which then receives a static name (DNS name) and
a dynamic IP address. More information about the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service is
available at www.axiscam.net
To perform this procedure, your network should have an Internet connection with no HTTP
proxy, and IP addresses should preferably be assigned via DHCP.
Follow these instructions:
1. After making the connections for network and power, wait for the Status indicator on the
front of the camera to show a steady green.
2. Press the Reset button on the rear of the camera once. The Status indicator flashes green
while it connects to the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
3. Wait for the Status indicator to go back to showing a steady green.
4. To complete the installation, now visit www.axiscam.net from an Internet connected
computer. This must be done within 60 minutes of pressing the Control button.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
You will need the product's serial number to complete the installation. See page 4. See also
page 9 for instructions on how to set the password.
Important!
Please note that this procedure will send the AXIS 221's IP address, firmware version, product type and
serial number to the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. No personal information is transferred.
To remove the DNS name and unregister from this service, open the Setup pages in the AXIS
221, click System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic, click the Settings button for the AXIS
Internet Dynamic DNS Service and finally, click the Remove button.
