AXIS Q6000-E Mk II PTZ Network Camera

Troubleshooting

The IP address is being used
by another device

Disconnect the Axis product from the network. Run the Ping command (in a Command/DOS
window, type

ping

and the IP address of the product):

• If you receive:

Reply from <IP address>:

bytes=32; time=10...

this means that the IP address may already be in use by another device on the network.
Obtain a new IP address from the network administrator and reinstall the product.

• If you receive:

Request timed out

, this means that the IP address is available

for use with the Axis product. Check all cabling and reinstall the product.

Possible IP address conflict
with another device on the
same subnet

The static IP address in the Axis product is used before the DHCP server sets a dynamic address.
This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may
be problems accessing the product.

The product cannot be accessed from a browser

Cannot log in

When HTTPS is enabled, make sure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when
attempting to log in. You may need to manually type

http

or

https

in the browser’s address field.

If the password for the user root is lost, the product must be reset to the factory default settings.
See

How to reset to factory default settings on page 53

.

The IP address has been
changed by DHCP

IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server are dynamic and may change. If the IP address has been
changed, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to locate the product on the network. Identify
the product using its model or serial number, or by the DNS name (if the name has been configured).

If required, a static IP address can be assigned manually. For instructions, see the document

How to

assign an IP address and access your device

on the product page at

axis.com

Certificate error when using
IEEE 802.1X

For authentication to work properly, the date and time settings in the Axis product should be
synchronized with an NTP server. See

Date & Time on page 42

.

PTZ Network Camera
Connection Failed

Under

System Options > PTZ Network Camera > Connection

, check the following:

• That the user logged onto the PTZ network camera has PTZ controls enabled
• That the

IP address

and

Ports

are correct

PTZ Network Camera
Authorization Error

Make sure that the password for the user logged onto the PTZ network camera has not been
changed.

The product is accessible locally but not externally

Router configuration

To configure your router to allow incoming data traffic to the Axis product, enable the NAT-traversal
feature which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the Axis
product, see

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4 on page 47

. The router must support UPnP

®

.

Firewall protection

Check the Internet firewall with your network administrator.

Default routers required

Check if you need to configure the router settings from

System Options > Network > TCP/IP >

Basic

.

Problems with streaming H.264

Problems with AXIS Media
Control (

Internet Explorer

only

)

To enable the updating of video images in Internet Explorer, set the browser to allow ActiveX
controls. Also, make sure that AXIS Media Control is installed on your computer.

No H.264 displayed in the
client

Check that the relevant H.264 connection methods and correct interface are enabled in the AMC
Control Panel (streaming tab). See

About AXIS Media Control (AMC) on page 11

.

In the AMC Control Panel, select the H.264 tab and click

Set to default H.264 decoder

.

Check that RTSP is enabled under

System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced

.
