Set the password
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.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it in the Configure Root Password
window. 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 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. If the password is lost, the network camera must
be reset to the factory default settings. See page 21.
If required, click Yes to install AMC (AXIS Media Control), which allows viewing of the video stream
in Internet Explorer. You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.
Note:
To install AMC in Windows 7/Windows Vista, you must run Internet Explorer as administrator.
Right-click the Internet Explorer icon and select Run as administrator.

unencrypted connection, enter the
