AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - System Options

Network - 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 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.

Network - UPnP

The AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E includes support for UPnP in Windows Millennium and Windows XP. UPnP is enabled by default.

Note: UPnP must be installed on your workstation. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open the Networking Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP.

Network - RTP/MPEG-4

Multicast must be enabled for these settings to take effect. The settings are only valid when MPEG-4 is used as the video format. These settings are the port range, IP address, port number, and Time-To-Live value to use for the video stream(s) in MPEG-4 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast streams.

Enter the port range, IP address and the port number to use for the video and audio streams in the required fields. (AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support audio.)

Only IP addresses within certain ranges can be used for multicasting. The camera has been pre-configured with an address from these ranges, and this does not normally need to be changed. Please contact your network administrator if you have special requirements.

Notes: • Viewers do not need to know this IP address or port number, but simply the main IP address or host name otherwise used for accessing the camera.

• Setting the video port number to 0 means a random port number will be used.

If IP packets (i.e. data) fail to be delivered to their destination within a reasonable length of time the number entered in the Time to live field tells the network routers when to discard the packet. The value is usually measured in ‘hops’, i.e. the number of network routers that can be passed before the packet arrives at its destination or is dropped.

Network - Bonjour

The AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E includes support for Bonjour. When enabled, the camera is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this.

Ports & Devices - I/O Ports (for AXIS 215 PTZ only)

Ports can be given descriptive names and their Normal state can be configured.

The 2 options for Normal state are Open circuit and Grounded circuit. The input is activated when the Current state changes so that it no longer equals the Normal state.

As an example, if the Normal state for a pushbutton connected to an input is Open circuit, this means that as long as the button is not pushed (and the Current state remains as Open Circuit), the state will be inactive.
