The AXIS 214 PTZ can be used with most standard operating systems, and supports Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.x or later, Netscape 7.x or later and Mozilla 1.4 or later.
Accessing the camera from a browser

2. Enter the IP address or host name of the AXIS 214 PTZ
in the Location/Address field of your browser.
3. Enter the user name and password set by the
administrator. If required, click Yes to install the AXIS
Media Control (AMC).
The Live View page is then
displayed in your
browser.
Note:
If this is the first time the camera is accessed, the ‘Configure
Root Password’ dialog will be displayed on the screen. “root”
is the default administrator user name.
Setting the password for root
1. Enter a password and then re-enter it to
confirm the spelling. Click OK.
2. The ‘Enter Network Password’ dialog will
appear. Enter the User name: root.
3. Enter the password as set above, and click

Notes:
•The layout of the Live View page in the AXIS 214 PTZ may
have been customized to meet the specific requirements of
the application. Consequently, many of the examples and functions in this section may differ from those displayed in your
Live View page.
•If the AXIS 214 PTZ is to be mounted on a ceiling, the image must be rotated. Go to Setup > Video & Image and set Rotate
image to 180 degrees.
•To view streaming video with AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow
the 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 stream. As a license is required for each instance of the decoder, the product administrator may
have disabled the installation. If your workstation 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.
Accessing the camera from the Internet
Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet
you must configure your router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually
done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
