Secure passwords

Important
Axis devices send the initially set password in clear text over the network. To protect your device after the first login, set
up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection and then change the password.
The device password is the primary protection for your data and services. Axis devices do not impose a password policy as they
may be used in various types of installations.
To protect your data we strongly recommend that you:
• Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably created by a password generator.
• Don't expose the password.
• Change the password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.
Step-by-step guide

Free flow

areas like campuses, ports or airports. This allows for LPR-forensic search and LPR triggered events in a VMS.

3. Select the number of areas of interest. Note that one area can detect plates in both directions.
