AXIS Camera Station Server handles all communication with the cameras that are included in the system. It also handles

recordings, events and user management in the system. Once AXIS Camera Station Server has been installed on your

Camera Station Server and any cameras in the system are separated by a proxy server, you may need to open the Service

Control to manually enter the appropriate proxy settings. See AXIS Camera Station Service Control Help for more information.

An icon in the system taskbar shows if the service has stopped

, or is running . To modify server settings you can

double-click the icon to open AXIS Camera Station Service Control, see AXIS Camera Station Service Control, on page 40 and
