AXIS Q7404 - System Options
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. Depending on the level of
security required, select the version of SNMP to use. The three levels of security are:
• SNMP v1 – includes no security.
• SNMP v2c – uses very simple security. The community name can be specified as a password for read or read/write access
to all supported SNMP objects. The community is the group of network devices using SNMP.
• SNMP v3 – provides encryption and secure passwords. HTTPS must be enabled.
UPnP™
The video encoder includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the video encoder then is automatically
detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol. This means that when using a workstation running
Windows XP or Windows Vista with UPnP™ enabled, the AXIS Q7404 Video Encoder will automatically be detected and added
to My Network Places in Windows.
RTP/H.264
These settings are the RTP port range, and the IP addresses port numbers (video and audio), and Time-To-Live value used for
multicasting. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast streams. For more information, please
see the online help .
Bonjour
The video encoder includes support for Bonjour. Bonjour is enabled by default, and the video encoder is automatically
detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.
