The device interface
Plain config
Plain config is for advanced users with experience of Axis device configuration. Most parameters can be set and edited from
this page.
Maintenance
Restart : Restart the device. This does not affect any of the current settings. Running applications restart automatically.
Restore : Return most settings to the factory default values. Afterwards you must reconfigure the device and recreate any
events and PTZ presets.
Important
The only settings saved after restore are:
• Boot protocol (DHCP or static)
• Static IP address
• Default router
• Subnet mask
• 802.1X settings
• O3C settings
Factory default : Return all settings to the factory default values. Afterwards you must reset the IP address to make the device
accessible.
Note
All Axis device firmware is digitally signed to ensure that you only install verified firmware on your device. This further
increases the overall minimum cybersecurity level of Axis devices. For more information, see the white paper “Signed
firmware, secure boot, and security of private keys” at
axis.com .
Firmware upgrade : Upgrade to a new firmware version. New firmware releases can contain improved functionality, bug
fixes, and completely new features. We recommend you to always use the latest release. To download the latest release, go
to
axis.com/support .
When you upgrade, you can choose between three options:
• Standard upgrade : Upgrade to the new firmware version.
• Factory default : Upgrade and return all settings to the factory default values. When you choose this option, you can’t
revert to the previous firmware version after the upgrade.
• Autorollback : Upgrade and confirm the upgrade within the set time. If you don’t confirm, the device reverts to the
previous firmware version.
Firmware rollback : Revert to the previously installed firmware version.
Configuration
Download configuration file : Select which settings you want to include in the configuration file. The file won't include
certificates or private keys.
Upload configuration file : The uploaded configuration file overwrites the existing configuration within the same area. For
example: if your file only contains information about video, the system settings won't be affected. The configuration file doesn’t
include certificates or private keys. If you want other certificates than the default self-signed ones, you need to set them manually.
