AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12
RTSP
The RTSP protocol allows a connecting clie
nt to start an MPEG-4 stream. Check the box to enable the server
and enter the RTSP port number to use. The default setting is 554. Note that MPEG-4 video streams will not
be available if this service is not enabled.
Network Traffic
Connection Type - The
default setting is Auto-negotiate, which means that the correct speed is
automatically selected. If necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from the drop-down
list.
Maximum bandwidth - To minimize the impact on other services runnin
g on your network, it is possible to
configure the maximum network bandwidth the product will be allowed to use. Specify the maximum
bandwidth (in Mbit/s or kbit/s) allowed, or set to Unlimited.
SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 can be configured to use a
SOCKS
server to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful if the
camera is located on a local network behind a firewall, but notifications, uploads, alarms, etc., need to be
sent to a destination outside the local network (e.g. to the Internet).
QoS (Quality of service)
Quality of Service (QoS) provide
s the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected
traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as e.g. a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, no packet
losses, etc. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can be summarized as:
• The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before fl
ows with lesser
priority.
• Greater reliability in the network, thank
s to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application
may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications.
The QoS in Axis network video products
marks the data packets for various types of network traffic
originating from the product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to e.g. reserve a fixed
amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 marks the following types
of traffic:
•video
•event/alarm
• management network traffic.
QoS Settings
For each type of network traffic supported by your
Axis network video product, enter a DSCP
(Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the
marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch
which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex
form, but saved values are always shown in
decimal.

SMTP (email)
Enter the host names (or IP addresses) and port numbers for your primary and secondary mail servers in the
fields provided
, to enable the sending of notifications and image/video email messages from the camera to
predefined addresses via SMTP.
If your mail server requires authentication, check the box for Use authentication to log in to this server
