When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when attempting
to log in. You may need to manually type http or https in the browser's address field.
If the password for the user root is lost, the device must be reset to the factory default settings.
See Reset to factory default settings on page 21.
IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server are dynamic and may change. If the IP address has been
changed, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to locate the device on the network. Identify
the device using its model or serial number, or by the DNS name (if the name has been configured).
If required, a static IP address can be assigned manually. For instructions, go to axis.com/support.
Check if your router supports multicasting, or if the router settings between the client and the
device need to be configured. The TTL (Time To Live) value may need to be increased.
Check with your network administrator that the multicast addresses used by the Axis device
are valid for your network.
Check with your network administrator to see if there is a firewall preventing viewing.
Ensure that your graphics card is using the latest driver. The latest drivers can usually be
downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Go to the adapter's documentation for more
information.
• See Performance considerations on page 24.
• Reduce the number of applications running on the client computer.
• Limit the number of simultaneous viewers.
• Check with the network administrator that there is enough bandwidth available.
• Lower the image resolution.
• Log in to the device's webpage and set a capture mode that prioritizes frame rate.
Changing the capture mode to prioritize frame rate might lower the maximum
resolution depending on the device used and capture modes available.
Web browsers do not support H.265 decoding. Use a video management system or application
supporting H.265 decoding.
This camera is designed to deliver up to four different streams. If a fifth unique stream is requested,
the camera will not be able to provide it, and an error message is displayed. The error message
depends on the way the stream is requested. The streams are used on a first come, first served
basis. Examples of instances using a stream are:
• Live viewing in a web browser or other application
• While recording - continuous or motion triggered recording
• An event using images on the camera, for example an event sending an e-mail with an
image every hour
