Install the hardware

Important!

AXIS M11 Series is designed for indoor and outdoor use. To use the camera outdoors, install in an approved outdoor housing. Please see www.axis.com for more information on outdoor housings.

1. Attach the stand to the camera by screwing it on. For wall mounting, attach the stand to wall first, using 3 appropriate screws.
2. Attach the cable to the network connector (supports PoE class 1) in the camera.
3. Check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct conditions. See table above.

4 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.

AXIS IP Utility and AXIS Camera Management are the recommended methods for setting an IP address in Windows. 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/techsup Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that suits you best.

Method Recommended		for Operating system
	AXIS IP UtilitySee page 7	Single cameraSmall installations	Windows
	AXIS Camera ManagementSee page 8	Multiple camerasLarge installationsInstallation on a different subnet	Windows 2000Windows XP ProWindows 2003 ServerWindows VistaWindows 7

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 of the AXIS M11 Series, such as in other operating systems, see page 12.

AXIS IP Utility - single camera/small installation

AXIS IP Utility automatically discovers and displays Axis devices on your network. You can also manually set a static IP address through this application. AXIS IP Utility is available on the Axis Network Video Product CD, or it can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup

Install the AXIS M11 Series Network Camera on the same network segment (physical subnet) as the computer running AXIS IP Utility.

Automatic discovery

1. Check that the AXIS M11 Series Network Camera is connected to the network and that power has been applied.
2. Start AXIS IP Utility.
3. When the AXIS M11 Series network camera appears in the window, double-click to open the camera's home page.
4. See page 9 for instructions on how to set the password.

Set the IP address manually (optional)

1. Acquire an unused IP address on the same network segment your computer is connected to.
2. Select the AXIS M11 Series in the list.
3. Click the button IP Assign new IP address to selected device and enter the IP address.
4. Click the Assign button and follow on-screen instructions. Note that the camera must be restarted within two minutes for the new IP address to be set.
5. Click the Home Page button to access the camera's web pages.
6. See page 9 for instructions on how to set the password.

AXIS Camera Management - multiple cameras/ large installations

AXIS Camera Management can automatically discover multiple Axis devices, show connection status, manage firmware upgrades and set IP addresses.

Automatic discovery

1. Check that the camera is connected to the network and that power has been applied.
2. Start AXIS Camera Management. When the camera appears in the window, right-click the link and select Live View Home Page.
3. See page 9 for instructions on how to set the password.

Assign an IP address in a single device

1. Select the network camera in AXIS Camera Management and click the Assign IP button .IP
2. Select Assign the following IP address and enter the IP address, subnet mask and default router the device will use.
3. Click the OK button.

Assign IP addresses in multiple devices

AXIS Camera Management speeds up the process of assigning IP addresses to multiple devices, by suggesting IP addresses from a specified range.

1. Select the devices you wish to configure (different models can be selected) and click the Assign IP button
2. Select Assign the following IP address range and enter the range of IP addresses, the subnet mask and default router the devices will use.
3. Click the OK button.

5 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 AXIS M11 Series 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 (see note below).

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 AXIS M11 Series is encrypted from this point on.

3. Enter a password and then re-enter to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.

1. To log in, enter the user name "root" in the dialog as requested
   Note: The default administrator user name "root" cannot be deleted.
2. Enter the password as set above, and click OK.

If required, click Yes to install AMC (AXIS Media Control), which allows viewing of the video stream in Internet Explorer. You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this. If required, click the link to install missing decoders. The Live View page of the AXIS M11 Series network camera appears. The Setup link to the right gives you menu options that allow you to customize the camera.

6 Adjust image and focus

To focus AXIS M1103/M1104:

Unscrew the focus puller on the lens. Adjust the focus as required. Re-tighten the focus puller.

To focus AXIS M1113/M1114:

Diagram of a camera lens with concentric circular blades (no text or symbols)

Focus puller

1. Click the Setup link at the top, right in the camera's web interface and go to Basic Setup > Focus.
2. In the Focus Adjustment page set the DC-Iris to Disabled and click Save.
3. Unscrew the zoom puller on the lens by turning it anti-clockwise. Adjust the zoom setting as required. Re-tighten the zoom puller.
4. Unscrew the focus puller on the lens. Adjust the focus as required. Re-tighten the focus puller.
5. From the Focus Adjustment page, set the DC-Iris to Enabled and click Save.

Note:

- The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This opens the iris to its maximum, which gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing. When the focus is set with this method it will then be maintained in all light conditions

- The design of AXIS M11 Series allows for slight lens movement to ensure sensor alignment.
