Questions answered in these manuals
How do I assign an IP address to the Axis Q1602/Q1604 camera?
If a DHCP server is not present, the camera defaults to 192.168.0.90; you can assign a static address using AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management.
When should I replace the battery in the Axis Q1602/Q1604 camera?
The internal 3.0 V CR2032 battery lasts about five years; replace it only when a low‑battery log message appears, using the same battery type.
How do I replace the lens on the Axis Q1602?
Disconnect the iris cable, unscrew the standard lens, then attach and screw on the new lens. Restart the product only if switching between P‑iris, DC‑Iris, or fixed/manual iris lenses.
How can I configure the Status LED?
Go to Setup → System Options → Ports & Devices → LED to set the LED behavior, such as unlit during normal operation or flashing for identification.
