Cameras
When starting the Administration of AXIS Camera Station, the Cameras tab is
the default starting point. All cameras and video servers are first registered
under this tab and can then be selected for configuration from the other tabs in
the program.
Example: Adding and configuring a new camera
1. Select a camera (number) from the Select Camera drop-down list.
2. Check the Camera enabled checkbox
3. Name the camera/video server in the Camera name field.
4. Enter the camera/video IP address in the Camera IP address (LAN) field. If
the camera is outside your local network (e.g. will be accessed over the
Internet), enter the Camera IP address (WAN).
5. Click the "?" button next to the Camera IP address (LAN) field to receive
information about the camera type and update the Camera Type field.
6. For a camera connected to an Axis video server, you must also specify the
video port number in the Camera Port Number drop-down list.
7. If the camera is password protected, enter the User and Password.
8. Click Link to Camera to verify that you can access the camera.
9. Click OK to save and exit.
It is very important that you check the Camera enabled checkbox! If this
checkbox is not checked when registering a camera, recordings and live-view
are not possible.
•The WAN IP address is where AXIS Camera Station should fetch live images.
This might be the same as your LAN IP address, but depends on your
network/Firewall/Network Address Translation (NAT). The WAN must be
specified if a client or web interface client is run from another network
than AXIS Camera Station. If no WAN address is available, enter the LAN
address.
•Host names or IP addresses can be entered in the LAN/WAN fields.
If using an analog CCTV camera, you will need to specify the Axis video server
model it is connected to in the Camera Type field.
Axis camera and video servers have a default User = root and
Password = pass. The password may be changed in the camera.
