Get started Find the device on the network To find Axis devices on the network and assign them IP addresses in Windows®, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager. Both applications are free and can be downloaded from axis.com/support.
Secure passwords Important Axis devices send the initially set password in clear text over the network. To protect your device after the first login, set up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection and then change the password. The device password is the primary protection for your data and services. Axis devices do not impose a password policy as they may be used in various types of installations.

AXIS P32 Dome Camera Series The device interface Contrast: Use the slider to adjust the difference between light and dark. Brightness: Use the slider to adjust the light intensity. This can make objects easier to see. Brightness is applied after image capture, and doesn’t affect the information in the image.
Page 22
• Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later. IR light If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis accessory.
Page 23
AXIS P32 Dome Camera Series The device interface Allow illumination: Turn on to let the camera use the built-in light in night mode. Synchronize illumination: Turn on to automatically synchronize the illumination with the surrounding light. The synchronization between day and night only works if the IR-cut filter is set to Auto or Off.

AXIS P32 Dome Camera Series The device interface Note The exposure zones are related to the original image (un-rotated), and the names of the zones apply to the original image. This means, for example, that if the video stream is rotated 90°, then the Upper zone becomes the Right zone in the stream, and Left becomes Lower.

For more information, see the white paper “Signed firmware, secure boot, and security of private keys” at axis.com.
A capture mode is a preset configuration that defines how the camera will capture images. The selected mode can affect the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. If using a capture mode with a lower resolution than the maximum, the field of view might be reduced.
The image shows how the field of view and aspect ratio can change between two different capture modes. The capture mode to choose depends on the requirements for the frame rate and resolution for the specific surveillance setup. For specifications about available capture modes, see the product’s datasheet at axis.com. Remote focus and zoom The remote focus and zoom functionality allows you to make focus and zoom adjustments to your camera from a computer.

Learn more Note H.264 is a licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. To install additional unlicensed copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller. H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared to the Motion JPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to older MPEG formats.
