AXIS 221 - Accessing the Camera
Setting the Password
1. When accessing a camera for the first time,
the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog will be
displayed on the screen.
2. Enter a password and then re-enter it, to
confirm the spelling. Click OK.
3. The ‘Enter Network Password’ dialog will appear. Enter the User name: root
Note: The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be
deleted or altered.
4. Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is lost,
the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 37.

Focusing
To focus the AXIS 221, follow the instructions below.
1. From the Basic Configuration page in the setup tools, open the Focus adjustment
page.
2. Set the DC-Iris to Disabled
and click Save.
3. Unscrew the zoom puller on
the lens by turning it
anti-clockwise. Adjust the
zoom setting as required.
Re-tighten the zoom puller.
4. Unscrew the focus puller on
the lens. Adjust the focus as
required. Re-tighten the focus puller.
5. From the Focus adjustment page, set the DC-Iris to Enabled and click Save.
Note:
The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This opens the iris to its maximum, which
gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing. When the focus is set
with this method it will then be maintained in any light conditions.
Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must
configure your router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific
port. Please refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
