1. When accessing a 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 

cameras must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 46.

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, 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.

To focus the AXIS 210/210A, simply turn the adjustment ring on the lens until the focus 

is satisfactory. 

To focus the AXIS 211/211A, follow the instructions below. 

1. From the Basic Configuration page 

in the setup tools, open the Focus 

adjustment page.

2. Set the DC-Iris to Disabled and click 

Save.

3. Unscrew the zoom puller on the lens 

by turning it anti-clockwise. Adjust 

the zoom setting as required. 

Re-tighten the zoom puller.

4. Unscrew the focus puller on the lens. Adjust the focus as required. Re-tighten the focus 

puller.

5. From the Focus adjustment page, set the DC-Iris to Enabled and click Save.

The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This opens the iris to its maximum, which 
gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing. When the focus is set 
with this method it will then be maintained in any light conditions.
