AXIS Camera Station provides a quick way to add cameras and to congure and enable recording:

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

conrm 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 specied.

• 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 congured. See Network and Security Conguration on page 64.

Congure Recording

On the “Congure 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 congure 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:

- Drives on the local computer. It is not recommended to use the disk on which the operating system is installed.
