Axis Communications 210 User Manual

Follow the instructions in the AXIS 210/210A/211/211A Installation Guide to install your 

camera. 

The cameras can be accessed with most standard operating systems and browsers. The 

recommended browser is Internet Explorer for Windows, and Mozilla with other operating 

systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page 49.

To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, you may set your browser to allow the 
AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is 
accessed AMC also installs an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video streams. As a license is required for 
each instance of the decoder, the product administrator may have disabled the installation. If your worksta-
tion restricts the use of additional software components, the cameras can be configured to use a Java 
applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help for more information.

1. Start a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla)
2. Enter the IP address or host name 

of the cameras in the 

Location/Address field of your 

browser.

3. If this is the first time the camera 

is accessed, see Setting the Password, on page 10. Otherwise enter your user name and 

password, as set by the administrator. 

4. The camera’s Live View page is now displayed in your browser. 

The layout of the live view page in the cameras may have been customized to meet specific requirements. 
Consequently, some of the examples and functions featured here may differ from those displayed on your 
own Live View page.
