AXIS 207 - 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 33.

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, a 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 29. 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

3GPP Compatibility

The AXIS 207 is 3GPP compatible. In order to view live video over 3GPP the following settings must be made:

• Contact your cell phone provider and make sure that the configuration is correct. It is highly recommended

that you have an account with a public IP address.

• The AXIS 207 must have a completely public IP address i.e. no ports blocked by a firewall.

• The AXIS 207 is 3GPP compatible by default but the image settings must be configured as follows:

Go to Setup > Video & Image > Image Appearance and set the Resolution to 160x120 or 176x144

Go to Setup > Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4 > Bit Rate Control and limit the Maximum Bit Rate to

64 or 128 kbit/s

• Go to Setup > Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4 > GOV Settings and set Length to 8.
