Important things:

  1. Install the O3C-server as described in the guide "AXIS O3C Server Reference. Windows and Linux Versions" (Technical Reference Document. AXIS One-Click Cloud Connection Server 2.30.0), part 2.2.2.

Important things:

  • setup provider certificate authority:

Directory in which the CA should be set up [default: ca]: (by default ca)

Passphrase for the CA key (DO NOT FORGET THIS!) [default: N/A]: pAs_sw!ord (some password)

Valid time, in days [default: 7300]: 100 (any number)

Issue a server certificate:

Path to the CA directory [default: ca]: (as above)

Passphrase for the CA key [default: N/A]: pAs_sw!ord (as above)

Subject Alternative Names (separated by comma) [default: N/A]: 172.17.102.56 (very important!!! Should be equal IP address of O3C server)

Valid time, in days [default: 398]: 100 (as above)

Result:

Concatenated server certificate and key saved to: ca/issued/stserver_EA363E5578E696E7.pem

Register O3C server as service in Windows SCM: there is needed the Power Shell tool for Windows! And for install call:

.\setup_service.ps1 add -c C:\o3c-server\o3c-server.conf

Configure o3c-server.conf

listen_client = 172.17.102.56:80

IP and port where the server will wait for the client (the camera) connections

stserverid = test_o3c_server

Any string

cert_file = C:\o3c-server\stserver_EA363E5578E696E7.pem

issued server certificate created after command: "pkitool issue-server-cert"

provider_ca = C:\o3c-server\stserver_ca.crt

CA certificate from ca directory created after the command: "pkitool setup-provider-ca"

provider_name =

can be left blank

credentials = root:root

for device access requests

O3C-server service

By default, the service is called Axis O3C Server in Services or O3C-server in command prompt.

  1. Start the O3C-server service

  2. Enable One-click technology on the camera as described in the 4.1 part of the guide.

  3. Disable firewalls or add O3C-server to the exceptions

  4. Register the camera as described in guide 4.2 part.

    1. http://172.17.102.56/admin/dispatch.cgi?action=register&user=adp_mirasys_100&pass=GQ41lSRbbEb4w3sorkN8&mac=B8A44F17AAFA&oak=8A22D6434817&server=172.17.102.56:80

    2. where:user=adp_mirasys_100, pass=GQ41lSRbbEb4w3sorkN8 - Mirasys credentials (Provider name and password) from Axismac=B8A44F17AAFA, oak=8A22D6434817 - MAC address and OAK key from the camera

    3. To find the MAC address using the following string in the browser: http://172.17.100.84/axis-cgi/admin/param.cgi?action=list&group=Network

    4. server=172.17.102.56:80 - as "listen_client" in o3c-server.conf

  5. Check that the camera was connected to the O3C-server: call in the browser th string: http://172.17.102.56:80/admin/status.cgi 172.17.102.56 - IP address of O3C-server

  6. And check that there is a comment about the connected client as follows: "id=4.b8a44f17aafa srcaddr=172.17.100.84:34148 accepted=1 v=2 rx=0 tx=0 connected=2022-01-10T12:45:40.875571Z

Total number of clients: 1"

PS: the camera tries to connect to the server every 20 seconds

  1. Check that we can get options from the camera: for that, it needed to configure the proxy settings for browser -

  2. Open system Internet Options

  3. Select Connections tab -> Select LAN settings button -> to enable "Use a proxy server for LAN (...)" and input the proxy IP address and port. (in the current case there is a local IP address and port 80)

  4. After that we can get the camera capabilities in the browser:

    1. http://b8a44f17aafa/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=list&group=root.RemoteService where b8a44f17aafa - MAC address of the camera
