time, the 'Configure Root Password' dialog
appears.

firm the spelling. Click OK.
2. Enter the user name root in the dialog as
requested.
Note:
The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.

that allow you to customize the camera.
Accessing the AXIS 215 PTZ-E from the Internet
Once installed, your AXIS 215 PTZ-E is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera
from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually
done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router for further instructions.
