The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service
The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service is a free service provided by Axis, which allows you
to quickly and simply install your Axis Video Server, which then receives a static name (DNS
name) and a dynamic IP address. More information about the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS
Service is available at www.axiscam.net
To perform this procedure, your network should have an Internet connection with no HTTP
proxy, and IP addresses should preferably be assigned via DHCP.
Follow these instructions:
1. After making the connections for network and power, wait for the Status indicator to show
a steady green.
2. Press the Control button once
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
3. Wait for the Status indicator to go back to showing a steady green.
4. To complete the installation, now visit www.axiscam.net from an Internet connected
computer. This must be done within 60 minutes of pressing the Control button.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
You will need the product’s serial number to complete the installation. See page 5. See also
page 11 for instructions on how to set the password.
