You may already know we are not a big fan of port-forwarding - the traditional way how people are watching their security cameras remotely.
To overcome all the issues caused by port-forwarding, which is hard to set up, not reliable, and finally not secure, we developed Angelcam Connector. These days you can find Angelcam Connector available for a big variety of devices, from minicomputers (e.g. Raspberry Pi), routers (e.g. Ubiquity EdgeRouters or OpenWRT based routers), intercoms to cameras - Axis and Hikvision.
Now it's possible to access the Axis web administration interface as well 🚀
No matter whether you are on the same network or on the other side of the planet, if you need to access Axis web admin for whatever reason, you can do so from the Angelcam web app easily.
When it matters? When you want to change video settings, setup event recording, and do other changes in a camera setting.
All that is done by encrypted communication, without the need of knowing camera IP address, having public/static IP address or port-forwarding set.

FAQ
I have an AXIS camera but the "Camera admin interface button" is not being shown.
Your AXIS camera has an old version of Angelcam Connector without this feature's support. Just update to the latest version (10.0-0 or higher).
I see the "Camera admin interface" yet the camera web admin interface is not being shown then.
You are probably having firmware 9.8 or higher. This firmware is not supported yet. Check our product portal for more details and to subscribe to get a notification once we will have the solution.
