AXIS 223M - 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 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 page 32.

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.

Focusing

To focus the AXIS 223M, follow the instructions below.

1. From the Basic Configuration page in the setup tools, open the Focus adjustment page.

2. Set the DC-Iris to Disabled and click Save.

3. Unscrew the zoom puller on the lens by turning it

anti-clockwise. Adjust the zoom setting as

required. Re-tighten the zoom puller.

4. Unscrew the focus puller on the lens. Adjust the

focus as required. Re-tighten the focus puller.

5. From the Focus adjustment page, set the DC-Iris to

Enabled and click Save.

Note:

The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This

opens the iris to its maximum, which gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing. When the focus

is set with this method it will then be maintained in any light conditions.
