Accessing the Product
Access from the Internet
Once connected, the Axis product is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the product from the Internet you must
congure your network router to allow incoming data trafc to the product. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which
will attempt to automatically congure the router to allow access to the product. This is enabled from Setup > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 49. See also AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at
www.axiscam.net For Technical notes on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support web at www.axis.com/techsup
Set the Root Password
To gain access to the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Congure
Root Password dialog, which appears when the product is accessed for the rst time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS
certicate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt trafc between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certicate ensures encrypted exchange of information. See HTTPS, on page 49.
The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the product must be
reset to the factory default settings. See Reset to Factory Default Settings, on page 54.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the rst dialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click Create self-signed certicate.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certicate is created and the password can now be set securely. All
trafc to and from the product is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter to conrm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been congured.
PTZ Mode
PTZ mode is set the rst time the Axis product is accessed and can only be changed by resetting the product to factory default.
Digital PTZ is the default mode and should be used when a pan/tilt motor is not used.
