  • 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.

  • Page 15 AXIS M11 Series The device interface Click to show I/O output ports. Use the switch to open or close the circuit of a port, for example to test external devices. Click to manually turn on or turn off the IR illumination.
  • Page 16 AXIS M11 Series The device interface Rotate: Select the preferred image orientation. Image Appearance Saturation: Use the slider to adjust the color intensity. You can for example get a grayscale image. Contrast: Use the slider to adjust the difference between light and dark.
  • Page 17 AXIS M11 Series The device interface WDR: Turn on to make both bright and dark areas of the image visible. Local contrast: Use the slider to adjust the contrast of the image. A higher value makes the contrast higher between dark and light areas.
  • Page 18 AXIS M11 Series The device interface If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis accessory. Allow illumination: Turn on to let the camera use the built-in light in night mode.
  • Page 19 AXIS M11 Series The device interface Exposure zone: The exposure zone tells the camera to prioritize image quality in the most important part of the scene. Select the part of the scene of greatest interest to calculate the automatic exposure levels, for example the area in front of an entrance door.
  • Page 20 AXIS M11 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 21 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 22 AXIS M11 Series The device interface Maximum bitrate: Turn on to set a bitrate limit. Bitrate limit: Enter a bitrate limit that is higher than the target bitrate. • Maximum: Select to set a maximum instant bitrate of the stream based on your network bandwidth.

To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.
  • Page 28 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 29 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.
