Set the password
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This
is done in the
Configure Root Password
dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is
accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it in the
Configure Root Password
window.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the
Create self-signed certificate
button.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can
now be set securely. All traffic to and from the network camera is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click
OK
. The password has now
been configured.
4. To log in, enter the user name “root” in the dialog as requested.
Note:
The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.
5. Enter the password as set above, and click
OK
. If the password is lost, the network camera must
be reset to the factory default settings. See page 17.
If required, click Yes to install AMC (AXIS Media Control), which allows viewing of the video stream
in Internet Explorer. You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.
The
Live View
page of the network camera appears. The
Setup
link to the right gives you menu
options for customizing the camera.
To configure the password directly via an
unencrypted connection, enter the password
here.
To create an HTTPS connection, start by clicking
this button.
