Axis Communications P5532 Manuale Utente

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user 

root must be set. This 

is done in the ‘

Configure Root Password’ dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is 

accessed for the first time.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an 
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate.

Note:  HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between web 

browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown 
below. 

To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:

1. Click the 

Create self-signed certificate button.

2. Provide the requested information and click 

OK. The certificate is created and the password can 

now be set securely. All traffic to and from the network camera is encrypted from this point on.

3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click 

OK. The password has now 

been configured.

4. To log in, enter the user name “root” in the dialog as requested.

Note: The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.

5. Enter the password as set above, and click OK. 

Note: If the password is lost, the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 22.

To configure the password directly 
via an unencrypted connection, enter
