System Options

SMTP (email)

To send email messages from the Axis product via SMTP (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 also required. If the mail server requires authentication, check Use authentication to log in to this server and enter the necessary information.

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNMP community is the group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.

To enable and configure SNMP in the Axis product, go to the System Options > Network > SNMP page.

Depending on the level of security required, select the version on SNMP to use.

Traps are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status changes. Check Enable traps and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent and the Trap community that should receive the message.

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

The following traps are available:

•Cold start

•Warm start

•Link up

•Authentication failed

SNMP v3 provides encryption and secure passwords. To use traps with SNMP v3, an SNMP v3 management application is required.

To use SNMP v3, HTTPS must be enabled, see HTTPS on page 45. To enable SNMP v3, check the box and provide the initial user password.

Note

The initial password can only be set once. If the password is lost, the Axis product must be reset to factory default, see Reset to Factory Default Settings on page 56.

UPnPTM

The Axis product includes support for UPnPTM. UPnPTM is enabled by default and the product is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.

UPnPTM can be disabled under System Options > Network > UPnPTM.

RTP/H.264

The RTP port range and multicast settings are configured under System Options > Network > RTP.

The RTP port range defines the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected. For multicast streams, only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used.

Select Always Multicast Video and/or Always Multicast Audio to start multicast streaming without opening an RTSP session.

Q6042 PTZ specifications

The Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ is a sophisticated network camera designed for demanding surveillance environments. Known for its high-resolution imaging and advanced features, this camera is an ideal choice for monitoring large areas such as city centers, airports, and parking lots.

One of the standout features of the Q6042 is its 1080p resolution, offering crisp, detailed video quality. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which minimizes bandwidth use and storage requirements without sacrificing image quality. This makes it very efficient for users looking to maintain high video fidelity while maximizing their network and storage capacity.

Another key characteristic of the Q6042 is its 18x optical zoom, enabling operators to zoom in on distant subjects without blurring the image. Combined with its advanced pan and tilt capabilities—offering a 360-degree continuous rotation and a tilt range of -20 to +90 degrees—the PTZ camera can cover vast areas and track moving objects with ease. This functionality is particularly useful for security personnel who need to monitor dynamic environments.

The Q6042 is also equipped with Axis' Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which enhances the camera's ability to capture clear images in challenging lighting conditions. This feature is vital when monitoring areas that experience significant contrasts in light, such as entrances and exits.

The camera is built for durability and features an IP66-rated weatherproof housing, protecting it from dust and heavy rain. It is also resistant to vandalism, making it suitable for outdoor installations where security is a prime concern.

Integrated with Axis’ Corridor Format technology, the Q6042 can be configured to monitor tall and narrow areas, optimizing the field of view for situations like hallways or alleys. This maximizes the effectiveness of surveillance and reduces the amount of unnecessary data captured.

Moreover, the Q6042 supports various network protocols and can be seamlessly integrated with other security systems. With its built-in analytics capabilities, the camera can be equipped with features such as motion detection and audio detection, allowing users to receive alerts based on specific events.

In summary, the Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ camera offers a robust solution for high-security surveillance needs, equipped with high-resolution video, extensive zoom capabilities, and advanced analytics, making it a versatile tool for modern security applications.
