AXIS 207/207W - Accessing the Camera

Setting the Password

1. When accessing the 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 camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 36.

5. If required, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC). You will need

administrator rights on the computer to do this.

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 broadband router to allow incoming data traffic

to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to

automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from

Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.

For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping), on page 30. See also the

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this

and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
