AXIS Q1910/-E/AXIS Q1921/-E - Accessing the camera
Access from the Internet
Once connected, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must
configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature,
which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from Setup > System
Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
For more information, please see
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4,
on page 37. See also the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS
Service at www.axiscam.net For Technical notes on this and other topics, visit Axis Support web at www.axis.com/techsup
Setting the root 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, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate.
Note:
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between web browsers and serv-
ers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it direct
ly in the first dialog shown below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the Create self-si
gned 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.
Notes:
•
The default administrator user root cannot be deleted.
• If the password for root is lost, the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 43.
• If prompted, click Yes to install AXIS Media Control, which allows viewing of the video stream in Internet Explorer.
You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this. If using Windows Vista or Windows 7 you must also run
Internet Explorer as administrator; right-click the Internet Explorer icon and select Run as administrator.
• If required, click the link to install missing decoders.

directly via an unencrypted
connection, enter the password here.
