2 Installation and set up

Installation

Connect the unit to the power supply, the HDMI video cable to the monitor/TV and the network cable

if the connection is going to be via LAN.

The unit has to be installed in a visible place to be able to command it with the remote control. If you

are planning to control the AX-TV by other means you can hide it after the first configuration.

Don’t place the unit in a closed place, it is necessary to leave some space for the ventilation.

Start-up

Select on your monitor/TV the HDMI input corresponding to the AX-TV to be able to see the

configuration menus on screen.

The first configuration of the unit has to be made with the remote control. You can connect a USB

keyboard to ease the input of text.

If you have a LAN connection and your router has DHCP the unit will get connected to the network

automatically, without need to edit the network configuration.

If the connection is via Wi-Fi the first thing you have to do is enter the network configuration menu to

select your Wi-Fi network and configure its password.

Credentials: Check Use MC to use the master credentials defined for all the cameras, or uncheck it

to specify a particular user and password for the camera.

Aspect: The aspect-ratio is set in automatic by default. This way the AX-TV chooses the best

resolution for the camera in every moment depending on the viewer size.

Name: You can change the camera name here. To show this name on live video, mark the check-

box Show Name or press the button [.com] on the remote control when the AX-TV is in operation.

Movie: You can select one of the AX-TV channels to show a commercial video instead of a live

camera. The configuration of the movie is explained in a later chapter.

Codec: Choose which video format to request the camera: JPEG or H264.

Onvif: Check this option to connect the camera using the Onvif protocols. Otherwise the Axis

protocols will be used.

Modify Profile: Check this option to let the AX-TV modify the Onvif profile in the camera to optimize

it to the visualization needs. Otherwise the video stream is used as it is configured in the camera. By

default this option is checked, and the AX-TV is allowed to modify the Onvif profile video. Uncheck it

if for example the camera only has one configurable profile and it is being used by a video recorder.

Once finished press the [Exit ] button and wait until the connection to the cameras is checked,

and the video is shown on screen. If an error occurs check the camera configuration.

3.4.2 Cameras configuration: Adding cameras with auto-detection

Select Autodetect Axis Cameras or Autodetect Onvif Cameras and you will get a list of the cameras

detected in your local network.

Note: if a camera is not installed in the same network segment of the AX-TV, or it is not detected for

any other reason, you can always add it manually as explained in the previous title.

Once the cameras have been detected the result is shown as follows:

If you think there haven’t been detected all the cameras, click on Refresh to launch a new

Select Add Camera to include in the list of cameras of the AX-TV, or select Cancel to return to the
