  • Page 4: Get Started

    Get started Find the device on the network To find Axis devices on the network and assign them IP addresses in Windows®, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager. Both applications are free and can be downloaded from axis.com/support.

  • Page 5: Webpage Overview

    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.

    M11 Mk II Series The device interface The device interface You reach the device interface by entering the IP address of the device in a web browser. Note Support for the features and settings described in this section varies between devices.

  • Page 15: Video

    M11 Mk II Series The device interface Video Click to play the live video stream. Click to freeze the live video stream. Click to take a snapshot of the live video stream. The file is saved in the ‘Downloads’ folder on your computer. The image file name is [snapshot_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.jpg].
  • Page 16 M11 Mk II Series The device interface • Refresh: Click to refresh the still image in the live view. Click to show the live view at full resolution. If the full resolution is larger than your screen size, use the smaller image to navigate in the image.
  • Page 17 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Brightness: Use the slider to adjust the light intensity. This can make objects easier to see. Brightness is applied after image capture, and doesn’t affect the information in the image. To get more details from a dark area, it’s usually better to increase gain or exposure time.
  • Page 18 • Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later. IR light If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis accessory.
  • Page 19 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Synchronize illumination: Turn on to automatically synchronize the illumination with the surrounding light. The synchronization between day and night only works if the IR-cut filter is set to Auto or Off. Automatic illumination angle : Turn on to use the automatic illumination angle.
  • Page 20 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Note The exposure zones are related to the original image (un-rotated), and the names of the zones apply to the original image. This means, for example, that if the video stream is rotated 90°, then the Upper zone becomes the Right zone in the stream, and Left becomes Lower.
  • Page 21 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Note We recommend you not to turn on Defog in scenes with low contrast, large light level variations, or when the autofocus is slightly off. This can affect the image quality, for example, by increasing the contrast. Furthermore, too much light can negatively impact the image quality when defog is active.
  • Page 22 Zipstream: A bitrate reduction technology, optimized for video surveillance, that reduces the average bitrate in an H.264 or H.265 stream in real time. Axis Zipstream applies a high bitrate in scenes where there are multiple regions of interest, for example in scenes with moving objects.
  • Page 23 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Dynamic GOP (Group of Pictures): Turn on to dynamically adjust the interval between I-frames based on the level of activity in the scene. Upper limit : Enter a maximum GOP length, that is, the maximum number of P-frames between two I-frames.
  • Page 24 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Overlays : Click to add an overlay. Select the type of overlay from the dropdown list: • Text: Select to show a text that is integrated in the live view image and visible in all views, recordings and snapshots.

  • Page 28 One-click cloud connection One-click cloud connection (O3C) together with an O3C service provides easy and secure internet access to live and recorded video from any location. For more information, see axis.com/end-to-end-solutions/hosted-services. Allow O3C: • One-click: The default setting. Press and hold the control button on the device to connect to an O3C service over the internet.
  • Page 29 Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails. Note All Axis Video MIB traps are enabled when you turn on SNMP v1 and v2c traps. For more information, see AXIS OS Portal > SNMP. • v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.
  • Page 30 When configured without a CA certificate, server certificate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to. When using a certificate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
  • Page 31 To install test firmware or other custom firmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom-signed firmware certificate. The certificate verifies that the firmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The firmware can only run on a specific device which is identified by its unique serial number and chip ID.
  • Page 32 M11 Mk II Series The device interface A rule defines the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action. The list shows all the currently configured rules in the product. Note You can create up to 256 action rules.

  • Page 37 M11 Mk II Series The device interface Retention time: Select how long to keep recordings, to limit the amount of old recordings or to comply with regulations regarding data storage. If the network storage becomes full, old recordings are removed before the selected time period has passed.
  • Page 38 Delete user: Delete the user. You can’t delete the root user. By creating an ONVIF user, you automatically enable ONVIF communication. Use the username and password for all ONVIF communication with the device. For more information see the Axis Developer Community at axis.com. ONVIF media profiles An ONVIF media profile consists of a set of configurations that you can use to change media stream settings.
  • Page 39 Network speaker pairing Network speaker pairing allows you to use a compatible Axis network speaker as if it is connected directly to the camera. Once paired, the speaker acts as an audio out device where you can play audio clips and transmit sound through the camera.
