Get started
Open the device's webpage
1. Open a browser and enter the IP address or host name of the Axis device.
If you do not know the IP address, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to find the device on the network.
2. Enter the username and password. If you access the device for the first time, you must set the root password. See Set a
new password for the root account on page 4 .
Verify that no one has tampered with the firmware
To make sure that the device has its original Axis firmware, or to take full control of the device after a security attack:
1. Reset to factory default settings. See Reset to factory default settings on page 55.
After the reset, secure boot guarantees the state of the device.
2. Configure and install the device.
Set a new password for the root account
The default administrator username is root. There's no default password for the root account. You set a password the first
time you log in to the device.
1. Type a password. Follow the instructions about secure passwords. See Secure passwords on page 4 .
2. Retype the password to confirm the spelling.
3. Click Add user.
Important
If you lose the password for the root account, go to Reset to factory default settings on page 55 and follow the instructions.
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.
