Add Cameras
AXIS Camera Station automatically searches the network for connected cameras and displays a list of cameras found. Use the
Type to search eld to nd cameras in the list.
1. Select the cameras to add. A camera can be added if its Status eld is empty. For information about different statuses and
how to solve problems, see the built-in help.
2. To change the camera name, click on the name in the list and enter a new name.
3. Click Next to continue.
4. If some cameras do not have a password, Enter camera password is displayed. Enter a password and re-enter it to
conrm the spelling. The password will be set on all cameras that do not have a password. The password is used by
AXIS Camera Station to communicate with the cameras. Make sure to use a strong password.
If a camera cannot be found:
• Check that the camera is connected to the network and that power has been applied. Then click Search Again to repeat
the search. It is also possible to add cameras manually. Click Add Manually and enter the camera’s IP address or host
name. If the camera does not use the default port 80, the port number must also be specied.
• If AXIS Camera Station Client, AXIS Camera Station Server and/or cameras are located on different networks, then proxy
and rewall settings might need to be congured. See Network and Security Conguration on page 64.
Congure Recording
On the “Congure Recording” page, select recording method and where to store recordings. All recording settings can also be
changed later.
The selected recording method and the other recording settings will be enabled on all selected cameras. Video will be recorded in
video format H.264 if supported by the camera.
1. Select recording method:
- Motion recording — Record video when motion is detected. When a camera detects a moving object,
AXIS Camera Station will start record video from that camera. Recording continues until motion stops.
- Continuous recording — Record video continuously. Continuous recording requires more disk space than
motion recording.
- I want to congure this later — Do not enable recording.
2. Select the number of days to keep recordings, or select Unlimited to keep recordings until the disk is full.
3. Under Recording location, select the disks to store recordings on:
