AXIS 212 PTZ/-V - Accessing the Camera

AXIS Media Control

The AXIS Media Control (AMC) is installed automatically the first time the camera is accessed from Microsoft Internet

Explorer. The AMC control panel can be opened by right-clicking on the video image in the Live View web page. The AMC

control panel can be used to configure various video and audio settings. Please see the readme file included in the tool for

more information. The AMC manual is available from the Network Video link in axis.com/techsup

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. One way to do this is to 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 35. 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

Adjust focus

If the image is out of focus, the camera’s preset focus position needs to be adjusted. Follow these instructions to focus the

camera:

1. Remove the dome casing.

2. Open the Live View page in a web browser.

3. Set the camera view to maximum zoom, i.e. click on a suitable detail in the image to zoom in.

4. Rotate the metal focus adjustment ring (see illustration) to set the focus.

Important!

Older camera models have a fixing screw that must be loosened before rotating the focus adjustment ring. The

screw is located close to the audio in/audio out connectors. Gently tighten the screw when satisfied with the

image.

5. When satisfied with the image, mount the dome casing. For instructions please refer to the Installation Guide supplied

with the camera.
