By default, your Axis camera’s name is its model number plus its serial number. If you wish, you may rename your camera through its web interface; this new name will then appear in Device ManageR.
To change the name of your Axis camera, follow these steps:
1. Select your Axis camera in the list of Discovered Devices in Device ManageR.
2. Then select Open Settings from the menu below the camera’s name.
3. The camera’s web interface will open to Setup page. Select System Options from the navigation bar to the left of the screen.
4. In the System Options menu, select Network.
5. In the Network menu, select Bonjour.
6. In Friendly name, enter the new name for your camera.
7. Select Save.
Once Device ManageR scans the network for changes, your Axis camera should appear in the Discovered Devices list with the name you just configured.
