AXIS 225FD - System Options
Date & Time
Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be 
displayed in 12h clock format in the Overlay Images (see below).
New Server Time - Select your 
time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the AXIS 
225FD clock to automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select the Automatically 
adjust for daylight saving time changes. 
From the Ti
me Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
• Synchronize with
 computer time - sets the time from the clock on your 
computer. 
• Synchronize with NTP Server - the camera will obtain the time from an NTP 
server every 60 minutes. Specify the NTP server's IP address or host name.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Note: 
Note that if using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings. 
See Network > TCP/IP below.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 
24h) displayed in the Live View video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own 
custom date and time formats. See Advanced 
File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online help
for information on how to create 
your own file formats.
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration
The AXIS 225FD supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be 
enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. 
When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, 
or a static IP address 
can be set manually. 
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the con
figuration in 
the network router.
There are also options for setting up notificatio
n of changes in the IP address, and for 
using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP 
address, please see the online help.
Notes: 
• To receive notification whenever the camera’s IP address changes (via e.g. DHCP), configure the options for 
notification of IP address change. See Services below. 
• If your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 225FD by host name which is always 
the same, regardless of the IP address.
