Tools Overview
The table below provides a one-stop overview of the Administration Tools.
System Security
To prevent unauthorized use, the AXIS 2490 supports user-level password protection and
access is restricted to defined users only
. System Administrators have exclusive access to
the server’s Administration Tools and can determine the registration and access rights for
all users.
Note: Although, the default username and password (set to root and pass respectively) can be used for
logging in to the unit for the first time, it is strongly recommended that you change the password
for your AXIS 2490 as soon as possible - since all Axis products are shipped with the same pass-
word as default.
