1. When accessing the camera for the first 

time, the ‘Configure Root Password’ 

dialog will be displayed on the screen.

2. Enter a password and then re-enter it, to 

confirm the spelling. Click OK.

3. The ‘Enter Network Password’ dialog 

will appear. 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 camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 44.

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

administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Once installed, the 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 

to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to 

automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from 

Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.

For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping), on page 38. See also the 

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this
