AXIS Q1775 Network Camera
How to access the product
Set the Root Password
To access the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user root . This is done in the Configure Root
Password dialog, which opens when the product is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS
certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information. See
HTTPS on page 50 .
The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the product must be
reset to the factory default settings. See Reset to factory default settings on page 62 .
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the dialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click Use HTTPS .
A temporary certificate (valid for one year) is created, enabling encryption of all traffic to and from the product, and the
password can now be set securely.
2. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling.
3. Click OK . The password has now been configured.
Configure capture mode
Capture mode defines the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. The capture mode setting also
affects the camera’s angle of view.
Select the desired capture mode from the drop-down list and click OK .
If you select another capture mode than default, the product needs to reboot for the changes to take effect.
