AXIS Q1604 Network Camera
Note
• The view in front of the camera should not be changed during focus adjustment (steps 5
and 6). If the camera is moved, or if a finger or other object is placed in front of the lens,
steps 3–7 below will have to be repeated.
• If movements in front of the camera cannot be avoided, the Focus Assistant should not
be used.
• If the control button is not released within two seconds, AXIS Dynamic DNS Service
is enabled instead of the Focus Assistant.
• If the camera is mounted so that the control button cannot be accessed, you can still use
the Focus Assistant. Follow the instructions but mount the camera after step 4 (pressing
the control button) instead and skip step 7.
1. Mount or place the camera so that it cannot be moved.
2. Loosen the zoom puller by turning it anti-clockwise. Move the puller to set the zoom
level. Retighten the zoom puller.
3. Set the camera to its extreme distant-focus position by loosening the focus puller and
turning the focus ring fully clockwise.
4. Press and quickly release the control button. When the status indicator flashes green, the
Focus Assistant is enabled. If the status indicator flashes either red or amber before you
are able to adjust the lens, skip to step 7 to exit the Focus Assistant and repeat steps 3–7.
5. Gently turn the focus ring anti-clockwise until it stops.
6. Finally, turn the focus ring slowly clockwise until the status indicator flashes green
or amber (not red).
7. To exit the Focus Assistant, press the control button. The Focus Assistant is switched off
automatically after 15 minutes.
8. Retighten the focus puller.
9. Open the Live View page in the web browser and check the quality of the image.
10. Continue with steps 6–8 on
page 17 .
