AXIS 210A/211A - Accessing the Camera

Setting the root password

1. When accessing a camera for the first time, the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog is

displayed on the screen.

Note:

Before you enter your password at this point, you can secure configuration of the root password via HTTPS

by creating a self-signed certificate. To do so, click the Create self-signed certificate... button in the Cre-

ate Certificate window, and then proceed as follows.

2. Enter a password, and re-enter to confirm the spelling. Click OK.

3. The ‘Enter Network Password’ dialog appears. Enter the User name: root

Note: The default administrator user name root

is permanent and cannot be deleted.

4. Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is

lost, the

cameras must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 53.

5. If required, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC). You will need

administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Accessing from the Internet

Once installed, a camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must

configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific

port. Please refer to the documentation for your broadband router for further instructions.
