Initializing a Camera Username and Password

Cameras manufactured after January 1, 2020, do not have a default username or password and will be in a
factory default state.
Important: You must create a user with administrator privileges before the camera is operational.
The first user can be created using any of the following methods:
Camera's Web Interface: enter the camera's IP address in a web browser to access the web
l
interface. If the camera is in the factory default state you will be redirected to the Add a new user
page to create the first user. For more information, see the Avigilon High Definition H4 and H5 IP
Camera Web Interface User Guide.
Camera Configuration Tool version 1.4.4 or later: cameras discovered in the factory default state will
l
be identified by
the Avigilon Camera Configuration Tool User Guide.
Avigilon Control Center software version 7.4 or later, or version 6.14.12 or later: when connecting a
l
camera in the factory default state, the client software will ask you to create a new user. For more
information, see the Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide.
Avigilon Cloud Services (ACS) v3.0 or later: when adding a camera you will be asked to create a new
l
user for cameras in the factory default state. For more information, see the Avigilon Cloud Services
User Guide.
Tip: If you are connecting your Avigilon camera to a 3rd party VMS, you will need to set up the first
user through the camera's Web Interface or Camera Configuration Tool before you connect to the
3rd party VMS.
