Tutorial: Standalone Video Logging - Part 1 - Setting up the Axis Camera
1. Open the AXIS IP Utility:
Navigate to the AXIS IP Utility that was downloaded and double click it to launch. The main Axis IP Utility window should now be open (See Figure 1).
2. Select the Camera and Enable Anonymous Login:
Select the camera that needs setup by clicking on it, then open up the web portal for the camera by clicking on the 'House' icon (Figure 2 
). If the camera does not show up, push the refresh button(Figure 2 
).
Once the webpage has opened, select 'Setup' in the top right corner of the screen (Figure 3 ). If credentials are requested, enter 'root' as the user name and the password for the camera under 'password'. Once logged into the Axis dashboard click on 'Users' (Figure 3 ). Finally, check the box next to 'Allow Anonymous Login' (Figure 3 
) and click 'Save' (Figure 3 
) at the bottom of the screen. Wait for the page to reload before closing out of the window.
3. Set the Camera IP Address:
The AXIS IP Utility will be up after closing the web portal. Make sure that the same camera is selected, then click the networking button (Figure 4 ).
