Overview

AXIS Installation Monitor provides quick and easy access to Axis network

cameras/video servers and their images. By using a handheld Pocket PC, you can easily

view the live image, adjust focus, view angle and direction of network cameras located in

hard to reach places such as poles, walls, and ceilings. AXIS Installation Monitor

automatically discovers Axis network cameras and video servers in both wired and

wireless installations.

Note: AXIS Installation Monitor will show only Axis network cameras and video servers.

Main window

AXIS Installation Monitor has two modes: List and Monitor. List mode displays all Axis

network cameras and video servers found on the LAN. Devices are listed by name, IP

address, Status and Serial number. The following status messages may be displayed:

• OK - A successful network response was received from the device

• Not Accessible - The device was found, but we were unable to contact it using

HTTP

• Credentials mismatch - The device was found but the user name or password

used was not correct.

The IP address of the network appears at the bottom of the screen along with the menus

Main and Devices.

Enter particulars for Application Settings and Master Credentials from the Main menu.

From the Device menu new cameras can be added manually, unique user names and

passwords can be entered and device properties can be listed. Monitor settings can also

be accessed from the Device menu, which includes resolution, frame rate and

compression.
