Chapter 3 Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
Step 3 In the Password and Confirm Password fields of the admin row, enter a password for the IP camera
administrator.
You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least
eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters
are:
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.
Step 4 In the Password and Confirm Password fields of the Root row, enter a password that is used when
accessing the IP camera through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.
You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least
eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters
are:
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.
You use the root password if you need to troubleshoot the IP camera through a SSH connection with the
assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.
Step 5 In the Access Protocols area, check the Enable HTTP check box if you want to allow both HTTP and
HTTPS connections to the IP camera.
By default, only the Enable HTTPS check box is checked, which allows only HTTPS (secure)
connections to the IP camera.
Step 6 Click Apply.
The IP camera reboots and the Login window appears.
Step 7 After the IP camera reboots, start Internet Explorer and, in the Address field, enter the following:
protocol ://ip_address
where:
• protocol is HTTPS or HTTP. (You can use HTTP only if you enabled it in Step 5.)
• ip_address is the IP address that you used in Step 1.
Step 8 If you are prompted to install ActiveX controls, which are required to view video from the IP camera,
follow the on-screen prompts to do so.
The Home (System Information) window appears.
