Installing an Axis video network (Web UI)
An Axis video network supports one or more Axis cameras. If some cameras support TLS (Transport Layer Security) and others
do not, you will need two Axis video networks: one network with TLS enabled, and the other with TLS disabled.
Prerequisites: The cameras are installed. The PC is connected to the camera network and running the web UI in a browser.
- Connect either to your Supervisor station (large installation) or to the single remote host station that controls the cameras (small installation).
- Click .The Remote Drivers view opens.
- Click the Manage Drivers button (
), select Addand click Ok. - Select the
Axis Video Networkfrom the drop-down list and click Ok. - Optionally, give the network a unique name and click Ok.The new Axis Network appears in the Network table.
- Double-click the newly-added network row in the table.The Driver Manager view opens with the Axis Video Network tab selected.
Use Tlsdefaults totrue, andTcp Ip Portdefaults to 9797. - To turn off TLS secure communication, change
Use Tlstofalse.CAUTION: Disabling TLS secure communication opens your installation to maliscious hacking. Do not disable this protection unless you know what you are doing, and, preferably, only if your network is not connected to the Internet. - If this is the second Axis network you are installing, change
Tcp Ip Portto 9798.Each network requires a unique TCP/IP port number. - Confirm that the network status is {ok}, and click Save.If you have two networks, both network rows go into fault (turn yellow) until the software establishes each port. This can take a few seconds.
