The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service
The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service is a free service provided by Axis. This service allows
you to quickly and simply install your camera, which then receives a static name (DNS name)
and a dynamic IP address. More information about the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service is
available at www.axiscam.net
To perform this procedure, your network should have an Internet connection with no HTTP
proxy, and IP addresses should preferably be assigned via DHCP.
Follow these instructions:
1. After making the connections for network and power, wait for the Status indicator on the
front of the camera to show a steady green.
2. Press the Control button on the underside of the camera once. The Status indicator flashes
green while it connects to the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
3. Wait for the Status indicator to go back to showing a steady green.
4. To complete the installation, now visit www.axiscam.net from an Internet connected
computer. This must be done within 60 minutes of pressing the Control button.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
You will need the product’s serial number to complete the installation. See page 4. See also
page 9 for instructions on how to set the password.
Important!
To remove the DNS name and unregister from this service, open the Setup pages in the AXIS
211/211A, click System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic, click the Settings button for the
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service and finally, click the Remove button.
Please note that this procedure will send the IP address, firmware version, product type, serial number and
HTTP port number of the AXIS 211/211A to the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
No personal information is transferred.
