Axis Default Password

To access the Axis IP camera (or other devices), you must set the password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Configure Root Password dialog, which opens when the product is accessed for the first time. In other words, the new Axis cameras don’t have a default password, you need to create one.

However, you may try two Axis default passwords that were used on their previous product line.

• username: root and password: pass (most commonly used password)
• username: root and password: root

The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the Axis camera must be reset to the factory default settings (using the reset button).

Axis Default IP address

The default IP address for Axis cameras and other Axis security devices is 192.168.0.90 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The camera is activated during the first run and it requires you to create a default password. 

The IP address of the camera or device needs to be modified in order to match your network. Make sure to use a unique IP address, thus avoiding any IP conflicts. 

If your network or router features a DHCP server, it means the router will self-assign a valid IP address to the device. In this case, you don’t need to worry about matching the IP address or having and conflicts. The DHCP mode will assign an IP automatically to the camera. 

Axis RTSP URL address

AXIS supports the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) for the following camera models. Locate your camera model to find the specific RTSP URL details.
