System Options

Note

This FTP server h as nothing to do with the product’s abil ity to transfer images via FTP to other l ocations and servers.

RTSP

The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be

changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.

Note

H.264 video streams will not be available if the RTSP server is disabled.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be conﬁ gured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other

side of a ﬁrewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the A xis product is located on a local network behind a ﬁrewall, and

notiﬁcations, uploads, alarms, etc need to be send to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).

SOCKS is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more informatio n, see the online help

QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a speciﬁed resource to selected trafﬁc on a network. A QoS-aware network

prioritizes network trafﬁc and provides a greater network reliability by co ntrolling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.

The QoS settings are conﬁgured under System Options > Network > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the

Axis product can mark the following types of trafﬁc: live video, live audio, event/a larm trafﬁc and management trafﬁc.

Note

Live audio DSCP will be eq ual to live video DSCP if H.264 over RTSP is used.

SMTP (email)

To send email messages from the Axis pro duct via SM TP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), an SMTP mail server must be set up. This

is done under System Options > Network > SMTP (email).

Enter the host names or IP addresses and port numbers for the primary and secondary mail servers in the ﬁelds provided . A From

email address is a lso required . If the ma il server requires a

uthentication, check Use authentication to log in to this server and enter

the necessary information.

SNMP

The Simple Network Ma nag ement P rotocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNMP community is the

group of d evices and management stati

on running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.

The Axis product can be conﬁgured

to support SNMP on the System Options > Network > SN MP page.

Depending on the level of sec

urity required, select the version on SNMP to use.

SNMP v1/v2 provides the

lowest level of security. The community name can be speciﬁed as a password for re ad or re ad/write

access to all supported SNMP devices. The default password for the Read community is public and the default password for the

Write community is write.

Note

If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.

Traps for SNMP v1/v2 are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status

change

s. Check Enable traps and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent and the Trap community that

should receive the message.
