or not, never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects.
Connecting the Hardware
If the AXIS 213 is to be mounted in a position where it is difficult to access, it is
recommended that you set the IP address and get the camera up and running before
completing the hardware installation, i.e. skip step 1 below until the installation is
completely verified.
The AXIS 213 PTZ Network Camera is supplied with a bracket for ceiling mounting.
1. Drill two holes in the ceiling and
secure the bracket with the
appropriate screws according to
the ceiling material.
2. Connect a standard network cable
to your AXIS 213 and connect it to
the network.

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.
1. Connect the AXIS 213 to your local network, using a standard network cable.
2. Connect power to the camera.
3. Wait 60 seconds and, using a suitably pointed object, push the reset button on
the underside of the camera once.
4. Visit www.axiscam.net where you will be guided through the remainder of the
installation. Please have the serial number of your product ready and follow the
instructions on the screen.
5. Enter a password for the root user (administrator).
6. If required, accept the installation of AMC onto your workstation. See AXIS
Media Control (AMC), on page 9 for more information.
7. The installation is now complete.
Note:
To remove the DNS name and unregister from this service, open the Setup pages in
the PTZ network camera, 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 PTZ network camera to the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS
Service. No personal information is transferred.
The serial number/MAC address (S/N) is located on the label on the underside of the AXIS 213

AXIS Media Control (AMC)
AXIS Media Control (AMC) is an ActiveX component required for Microsoft Internet
Explorer, and is installed automatically on first use.
AMC must be installed for audio support and for viewing live images in Microsoft
Internet Explorer. If your working environment restricts additional software
components, you can configure your AXIS 213 to use a Java applet for updating the
images (applies to video images, not audio). See the online help files under Live View
Config > Layout > Default Viewer for Internet Explorer. Alternatively, use another
supported Web browser.
Once AMC is installed, the AMC viewer toolbar will display the audio controls and
additional video controls.
Accessing the AXIS 213 from the Internet
Once installed, your PTZ network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN).
To access the PTZ network camera from the Internet, network routers must be
configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually done on a specific port. Please
refer to the documentation for your router for further instructions.
For more information on this and other topics, please visit the Axis Support Web at
www.axis.com/techsup
Resetting to the factory default settings
This will reset all parameters, including the IP address, to the Factory Default settings:
1. Disconnect power from the camera.
2. Press and hold the Reset button (on the underside of the camera) and reconnect
power.
3. Keep the button pressed for 15 seconds, and then release it.
4. Re-install the camera using one of the methods described in this document.
