AXIS 223M - Accessing the Camera
Setting the root password
1. When accessing the camera
for the first time, the
Configure Root Password
dialog appears
Note: Before you enter your
password at
this point, you can
secure configuration of the root
password via HTTPS by creating a
self-signed certificate. To do so, click
the Create self-signed certificate...
button in the Create Certificate
window, and then proceed as
follows.
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 or altered.
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 Resetting to the
factory default settings, on page 48.
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 router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic.
For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the
documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
