This manual is for administrators and users of the AXIS M7001 Video Encoder, applicable for firmware release 5.00 and later. It provides instructions for using and managing the encoder on the network. Previous networking experience and knowledge of UNIX or Linux-based systems may be beneficial. Later versions of this document will be available on the Axis Website. AXIS M7001 supports ONVIF v1.01.
This manual covers the Axis M7001 Video Encoder, a compact, cost‑effective solution for integrating analog cameras into an IP‑based surveillance system. It describes key features such as full‑frame‑rate video, simultaneous H.264 and Motion JPEG streams, PTZ support, and Power over Ethernet.
The guide explains how to install the device, access it via a web browser or the Internet, configure network and security settings, use the Live View page, and troubleshoot common issues. LED indicators, root‑password setup, and firmware upgrades are also detailed.
| Frame rate | 30 fps (NTSC) / 25 fps (PAL) |

Use the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog that appears on first access; you can set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection after creating a self‑signed certificate.
Open a supported browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, enter the encoder’s IP address or host name in the address bar, and log in with your credentials.
A green steady LED shows a 100 Mbit/s connection, amber steady indicates a 10 Mbit/s connection, and flashing indicates network activity.
