1. Introduction – NavNet TZtouch/2 with Axis
NavNet TZtouch (TZT9/14/BB) and NavNet TZtouch2 (TZTL12F/15F) v5.02 are compatible with IP cameras from Axis
Communications AB in both MPEG-4 and H.264 formats. Native H.264 formatted images occupy a great amount of
bandwidth. In addition to c on ventional settings su c h as I P add ress , en sur e to se t the resolution to "800x600 ( 4:3) "
pixels or less and compression level to "30". Failure to set these parameters will slow down the syste m! This
document describes the set-up procedures of Axis IP camer a s a nd video servers in H.264 format.
Note:
Screenshots from the TZT14 are used to describe setup procedures on TZT9/14/BB and TZTL12F/ 15F.
2. Overview
2.1. Summary – Setup Procedure
In order to view and control Axis IP cameras from the TZT9/14/BB and TZTL12F/15F, it is necessary to assign an IP
address to each Axis IP camera. This procedure will require a Windows PC connected via Ethernet to the Axis IP
camera(s). Pre-wiring and in stallin g the camer as on t he v essel firs t is recommended, so that a ll Axis IP cameras can be
networked to the P C through a hu b and can be configured at the same time. It will be necessary to set up the IP address
of the PC and use the AXIS IP Utility program, which is included with the camera to conf igure th e camera’ s IP address.
See Section 3 f or PC setup before conn ecting it to a n IP ca mera or v ideo serv er. See Section 4 for further settin gs on
IP cameras and Section 5 for video servers.
2.2. Latest Axis Cameras Compatible with H.264 Format
To find the late s t Axis camera mode ls with the H.264 format, access the Axis Website – Axis product selector
<http://www.axis.com/products/video/selector/index.php>. There are more selections than MPEG-4.

3. Setting up a PC
This section describes how to assign a dedicated IP address to a PC.
(1) Access [Start] – [Control Pan e l] .
(2) Open [Network and Sharing C enter].
(3) Open [Change adapter settings ] .
(4) Right click on [Loc a l Area Connection] and select [Properties].
3

Subnet mask: 255.255.0. 0
(7) Click on [OK] to confirm and close two windows on Step 6 and 5.
Note:
It takes up to 20 seconds f or the new IP to be recognized. A popup window on the bottom right corn er should show when
the IP is correctly set. Turn OFF any Firewall that could prev ent data from being ex changed between the Axis camera and
the PC. You may also ha ve to restart your computer.

4. Setting up Axis IP Camera
4.1. Setting up IP Address of Axis IP Camera
To work in the NavNet TZtouch/2 system, the Axis IP cameras need to be set up with specif ic IP Address es. U p to four
(4) IP cameras can be connected in the network.
Axis IP Camera No. 1 Axis IP Camera No. 2 Axis IP Camera No. 3 Axis IP Camera No. 4
172.031.200.003 172.031.200.004 172.031.200.005 172.031.200.006
In this example, two (2) sets of Axis M1011 are used.
(1) Load the Axis CD “Network video products”, which is included with the came ra. The Au torun softw are should appear.
(If the autorun is not working on your com puter, brow se the CD and double click on [Setup])
(2) Select [Install Product].
(3) Click on [AXIS IP Utility [Download]] to download the AXIS I P U tility program.
5
(4) Install the AXI S IP Utility program on your PC.
(5) Double-click on [ AXIS IP Utility] to open the program.
The following window will open, showin g the detected cameras in the network.
Note:
If you use the sam e camera m odels in multiple location s, MAKE S URE to WRITE DOWN the IP camera’s ser ial numbers,
which can be foun d on the back of the camera , w ith the intended loca tion to help cor rectly assign th e IP camera’s name.
(6) To change the IP address, select a camera and click on “assign new IP address to selected device” button.
(7) Enter the correct IP address and click on [Assign]. In this example, [172.31.200.3] will be assigned.
6
It will take a wh ile be fore the process is finished.
(8) Check that the IP address is changed.
(9) Repeat the process with the other camera(s).
(10) After the IP address is changed, restart the camera (power OFF/ON).
4.2. Configuring Axis IP Camera
Axis IP cameras need to be configured using a Web browser.
(1) Enter the IP address of the IP camera. In this example, [http://172.31.200.4] is entered.
(2) The camera c onfiguration page w ill open. Click on [Setup] to access the configuration page.
7
(3) You will be asked for an ID and passwor d. En ter th e foll owing ID and password and click on [OK].

[Compression] to [30] and click on [Save]. In this example, [640x480 (4:3)] is selected as Resolution because this
is the maximum resolution s upported by the M1011.
Tips:
As another example w ith the Axis M5013, supporting a highe r resolution than the M1011, set [R esolution] to [800x 600
(4:3)].
(8) In [Basic Setup] – [4 Video Stream] – [H.264] or [MPEG-4 & H.264] tab, s e t as follows.

Note:
It is recommended to zoom in on the image (Tele) to have a better “Home” preset. When
the view is correctly set up, type “Home” for the Current position and select [Use current
position as Home]. C lick on [Add] to validate.
If you do not need th e camer a to retu rn to the “ Home” positi on autom atically after 30 sec ,
just put [0] and validate.

7. Tips – 4 x IP Cameras + 2 x Video Servers
As Axis IP camera and video server sources, a maximum of four (4) sets of IP cameras and two (2) sets of video servers
are availab le in one network. In this example, the following items are conf igu r ed a nd networked with the TZT14.
No Items Models IP Addresses
1 IP Camera M1011 (No. 1) 172.031.200.003
2 IP Camera M1011 (No. 2) 172.031.200.004
3 IP Camera M1011 (No. 3) 172.031.200.005
4 IP Camera M1011 (No. 4) 172.031.200.006
5 Video Server M7014 172.031.200.007
6 Video Server P7214 172.031.200.008
(1) All the IP cameras and video servers are assigned with dedicated IP addresses as show n in th e AX IS IP Utility.
(2) All the IP cameras and video servers are detected by the TZT14.
[Menu] – [Camera] – [IP Camera 1 to 4], [Axis Quad Server], and
[Second Axis Quad S erver]

Notes:
In one TZT9/14/BB, a maximum of two (2) screens can be alloca ted to the Camer a page in th e 3-split sc reen mode.
Select one of these sources in each screen.
Among multiple IP camera inputs, the TZTL12F/15F ca n a ssign only one camera scr een per display. Two ( 2 )
camera images CANNOT be simultaneously shown on both quarter (1/4)
screens as shown at rig ht.
To see each camera image,
manually switch sources between each source on one
camera screen as shown at left because it is NOT
compatible with t he scrolling function.
To get multiple camera images to show at the same time on a TZTL12F/15F use analog cameras connected to a Quad
server and display the combined image on a full screen.
