AXIS 207 - Accessing the Camera

Accessing the Camera

Before accessing the camera it must be installed. Please see the installation guide supplied

with your product.

The camera can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers. The

recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer with Windows, Safari with Macintosh

and Mozilla with other operating systems.

Notes: • To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and

allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your workstation.

• QuickTime

and Real Player

are also supported for viewing streaming MPEG-4 video and audio.

• If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to

use a Java applet for viewing motion JPEG.

• The AXIS 207 includes one (1) decoder license for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This is automatically

installed with AMC. The administrator can disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder, to prevent

unlicensed copies being installed.

Access from a browser

1. Start a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer,

Mozilla)

2. Enter the IP address or host name of the camera in the Location/Address field of

your browser.

To access the camera from a Macintosh computer (Mac OSX), simply click on the

Bonjour tab and select the AXIS 207 from the drop-down list.

3. If this is the first time the camera is accessed, see Setting the Password, on page

10. Otherwise enter your user name and password, as set by the administrator.

4. The camera’s Live View page is now displayed in your browser.

Note:

The layout of the Live View page may have been customized to specific requirements. Consequently, some

of the examples and functions featured here may differ from those displayed on your own Live View page.

AXIS 207 - Accessing the Camera

1. When accessing the 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.

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 35.

5. If required, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC). You will need

administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Accessing the camera from the Internet

Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera

from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic

to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to

automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from

Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.

For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping), on page 30. See also the

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this

and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup

3GPP Compatibility

The AXIS 207 is 3GPP compatible by default. To view live video over 3GPP:

• Contact your cell phone provider and make sure that the configuration is correct. It

is highly recommended that you have an account with a public IP address.

• Check that the AXIS 207 has a completely public IP address, i.e. no ports blocked

by a firewall.

•In Setup > Video & Image > Image Appearance, set the Resolution to 160x120 or

176x144

•In Setup > Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4 > Bit Rate Control, set the

Maximum Bit Rate to 64 or 128 kbit/s

•In Setup > Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4 > GOV Settings, set the Length

to 8.

AXIS 207 - Glossary of Terms

proxy server acts as an intermediary between a workstation

user and the Internet. This provides security, administrative

control, and a caching service. Any proxy server associated

with a gateway server, or part of a gateway server,

effectively separates the organisation’s network from the

outside network and the local firewall. It is the firewall

server that protects the network against outside intrusion.

A proxy server receives requests for Internet services (such

as web page requests) from many users. If the proxy server

is also a cache server, it looks in its local cache of

previously downloaded web pages. If it finds the page, it is

returned to the user without forwarding the request to the

Internet. If the page is not in the cache, the proxy server,

acting as a client on behalf of the user, uses one of its own

IP addresses to request the page from another server over

the Internet. When the requested page is returned, the proxy

server forwards it to the user that originally requested it.

P-VOP - See VOP.

Resolution - Image resolution is a measure of how much

detail a digital image can hold: the greater the resolution,

the greater the level of detail. Resolution can be specified as

the number of pixel-columns (width) by the number of

pixel-rows (height), e.g. 320x240.

Alternatively, the total number of pixels (usually in

megapixels) in the image can be used. In analog systems it

is also common to use other format designations, such as

CIF, QCIF, 4CIF, etc.

RTCP (Real-Time Control Protocol) - RTCP provides

support for real-time conferencing of groups of any size

within an intranet. This support includes source

identification and support for gateways like audio and video

bridges as well as multicast-to-unicast translators.

RTCP offers quality-of-service feedback from receivers to

the multicast group as well as support for the

synchronization of different media streams.

RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) - RTP is an Internet

protocol for the transport of real-time data, e.g. audio and

video. It can be used for media-on-demand as well as

interactive services such as Internet telephony.

RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) - RTSP is a control

protocol, and a starting point for negotiating transports

such as RTP, multicast and Unicast, and for negotiating

codecs.

RTSP can be considered a "remote control" for controlling

the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers

typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual transport of

audio/video data.

Router - A device that determines the next network point to

which a packet should be forwarded on its way to its final

destination. A router creates and/or maintains a special

routing table that stores information on how best to reach

certain destinations. A router is sometimes included as part

of a network switch. See also switch.

Server - In general, a server is a computer program that

provides services to other computer programs in the same or

other computers. A computer running a server program is

also frequently referred to as a server. In practice, the server

may contain any number of server and client programs. A

web server is the computer program that supplies the

requested HTML pages or files to the client (browser).

Sharpness - This is the control of fine detail within a

picture. This feature was originally introduced into color TV

sets that used notch filter decoders. This filter took away all

high frequency detail in the black and white region of the

picture. The sharpness control attempted to put some of that

detail back in the picture. Sharpness controls are mostly

superfluous in today's high-end TVs. The only logical

requirement for it nowadays is on a VHS machine.

Simplex - In simplex operation, a network cable or

communications channel can only send information in one

direction.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) - SMTP is used for

sending and receiving e-mail. However, as it is "simple," it

is limited in its ability to queue messages at the receiving

end, and is usually used with one of two other protocols,

POP3 or IMAP. These other protocols allow the user to save

messages in a server mailbox and download them

periodically from the server.

SMTP authentication is an extension of SMTP, whereby the

client is required to log into the mail server before or during

the sending of email. It can be used to allow legitimate users

to send email while denying the service to unauthorized

users, such as spammers.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) - SNMP

forms part of the Internet Protocol suite, as defined by the

Internet Engineering Task Force. The protocol can support

monitoring of network-attached devices for any conditions

that warrant administrative attention.

Sockets - Sockets are a method for communication between

a client program and a server program over a network. A

socket is defined as "the endpoint in a connection." Sockets

are created and used with a set of programming requests or

"function calls" sometimes called the sockets application

programming interface (API).

SSL/TSL (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security)

These two protocols (SSL is succeeded by TSL) are

cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication

on a network. SSL is commonly used over HTTP to form

HTTPS, as used e.g. on the Internet for electronic financial

transactions. SSL uses public key certificates to verify the

identity of the server.

Subnet/subnet mask - A subnet is an identifiably separate

part of an organization's network. Typically, a subnet may

represent all the machines at one geographic location, in

one building, or on the same local area network (LAN).

Having an organization's network divided into subnets
