Find the device on the network
Find the device on the network
To find Axis devices on the network and assign them IP addresses in Windows®, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager. Both applications are free and can be downloaded from axis.com/support
For more information about how to find and assign IP addresses, see the document How to assign an IP address and access your device on the device page at axis.com
Access the device
1.Open a browser and enter the IP address or host name of the Axis device.
If you have a Mac computer (OS X), go to Safari, click on Bonjour and select the device from the drop-down list. To add Bonjour as a browser bookmark, go to Safari > Preferences.
If you do not know the IP address, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to find the device on the network.
2.Enter the username and password. If you access the device for the first time, you must set the root password. See
Set a secure password for the root account on page 5 .
3.The live view page opens in your browser.
About secure passwords
Important
Axis devices send the initially set password in clear text over the network. To protect your device after the first login, set up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection and then change the password.
The device password is the primary protection for your data and services. Axis devices do not impose a password policy as they may be used in various types of installations.
To protect your data we strongly recommend that you:
•Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably created by a password generator.
•Don’t expose the password.
•Change the password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.
Set a secure password for the root account
Important
The default administrator username is root. If the password for root is lost, reset the device to factory default settings.
1.Type a password. Follow the instructions about secure passwords. See About secure passwords on page 5 .
2.Retype the password to confirm the spelling.
3.Click Create login. The password has now been configured.

Image quality
Select exposure mode
There are different exposure mode options in the camera that adjusts aperture, shutter speed, and gain to improve image quality for specific surveillance scenes. Go to Settings > Image > Exposure and select between the following exposure modes:
•For most use cases, select Automatic exposure.
•For environments with certain artificial lighting, for example fluorescent lighting, select Flicker-free.
•For environments with certain artificial light and bright light, for example outdoors with fluorescent lighting at night and sun during daytime, select Flicker-reduced.
•To lock the current exposure settings, select Hold current.
View area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. You can stream and store view areas instead of the full view to minimize bandwidth and storage needs. If you enable PTZ for a view area, you can pan, tilt and zoom within it. By using view areas you can remove parts of the full view, for example, the sky.
When you set up a view area, we recommend you to set the video stream resolution to the same size as or smaller than the view area size. If you set the video stream resolution larger than the view area size it implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture, which requires more bandwidth without adding image information.
Hide parts of the image with privacy masks
What is a privacy mask?
A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prevents users from viewing a part of the monitored area. In the video stream, privacy masks appear as blocks of solid color.
You’ll see the privacy mask on all snapshots, recorded video, and live streams.
You can use the VAPIX® application programming interface (API) to turn off the privacy masks.
Important
Using multiple privacy masks may affect the product’s performance.
