Battery replacement
This Axis product uses a 3.0V CR2032 Lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC).
Under normal conditions this battery will last for a minimum of 5 years. Low battery power affects the
operation of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. A log message will appear when the battery needs
replacing. The battery should not be replaced unless required!
If the battery does need replacing, please contact www.axis.com/techsup for assistance.
• Danger of Explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Cleaning of dome cover
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the dome cover. Do not clean a dome cover that looks clean to the eye
and never polish the surface. Excessive cleaning can damage the surface.
• For general cleaning of a dome cover it is recommended to use a non-abrasive, solvent-free neutral soap or
detergent with water and a soft cloth. Rinse well with clean lukewarm water. Dry with a soft cloth to pre-
vent water spotting.
• Never use harsh detergents, gasoline, benzene or acetone etc. and avoid cleaning in direct sunlight or at
elevated temperatures.

Assign an IP Address
Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected
devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera will use 192.168.0.90 as
the default IP address.
If you would like to assign a static IP address, the recommended method in Windows is either AXIS
IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management. Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install,
use the method that best suits your purpose.
Both of these free applications are available on the AXIS Network Video Product CD supplied with
this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com
Notes:
• If assigning the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• For other methods of assigning or discovering the IP address, e.g. in other operating systems, see
page 18.

Set the 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 when setting the root password, this can be done 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 servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown
below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the Create self-signed 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.
4. To log in, enter the user name “root” in the dialog as requested.
Note: The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.
5. Enter the password as set above, and click OK.
Note: If the password is lost, the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 23.
