When you log in to the configuration website of your camera, you are asked for a password. If it is the first time you access the website, you can enter with a default user name and password.

ACTi Admin 123456
Axis root pass
D-Link admin [none]
IQinVision root system
LinkSys admin admin
Panasonic [none] [none]
Sony admin admin
TRENDnet admin admin
