These instructions are based on operations with the AXIS P1447-LE IP camera running on firmware 10.9.4 using the Remote.It device package for Axis v4.14.1. If you are using a different firmware version or a different device, the actual contents and messages displayed may differ from those described. These instructions can also be used to upgrade the version of Remote.It previously installed

Follow the same procedure to add SSH service and RTSP service. (For services which are not available in the selector, you can use the TCP selection and specify the name and port, in this case 554)
