• The default password (
pass
) for the pre-configured user
(
root
)
should
be changed as soon as possible.
Once this is done, the product’s security features will be enabled, and access to the Live View page
and the Administration tools will be restricted to defined users only, unless
Anonymous Login
is also
enabled, in which case anonymous access to the Live View page will be allowed.
• Note also that if the root password is not changed, then the
Enable anonymous viewer login
check-
box will have no effect, checked or not. After the root password has been changed, this checkbox will
be disabled by default.
• All Axis products are shipped with the same default Administrator password.
• Changing the root password and later changing it back to
pass
will return the security function to its
original state.
