QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. 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 flows with lesser priority.

Greater reliability in the network, thanks 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 reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The network camera 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 Codepoint) 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 the 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 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 and enter the

necessary information. See the online help for more information.

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 the group of network devices using SNMP.

SNMP V3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. HTTPS must be enabled.

Traps for SNMP v1/v2

Traps are used by the camera to send messages to a management system for important events or status changes. These settings are used with SNMP v1/v2. To activate trap reporting, enter the IP address of the management server, and choose the trap community to use when sending a trap message to the management system.

UPnP™

The network camera includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the network camera then is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.

M3204, M3203, M3203-V, M3204-V specifications

Axis Communications is renowned for its innovative approach to network video technology, and its M3200 series is a testament to this legacy, comprising models such as the M3204-V, M3203-V, M3203, and M3204. These cameras are designed to meet the diverse needs of surveillance applications while maintaining high standards of video quality and performance.

One of the standout features of the M3200 series is its compact and discreet design. The cameras are ideal for indoor use in environments where aesthetics are vital, such as retail stores, hotels, and offices. Their unobtrusive form factor allows them to blend seamlessly into various settings while providing comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

The M3204-V and M3204 models support two-way audio, allowing users to not only monitor but also communicate through the camera. This feature is particularly useful for interactive communication in scenarios like customer service or security personnel directions. Additionally, it supports an audio input for connecting external microphones, which enhances situational awareness.

All models in the series are equipped with Axis’ Lightfinder technology, enabling them to capture high-quality video in low-light conditions. This technology ensures that users receive clear and detailed images even in challenging lighting environments. Furthermore, the M3200 series offers Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functionality, which helps to enhance the visibility of both dark and bright areas in a scene simultaneously.

With support for1080p resolution at up to 30 frames per second, the M3200 series delivers crisp and detailed video, making identification easier. The cameras also feature H.264 compression technology, which helps optimize bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing quality.

For added versatility, the M3200 series includes a wide variety of mounting options, making it easy to install the cameras in various settings. They also come equipped with an IP51 rating for dust and drip protection, ensuring reliable operation even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Moreover, the integration of Axis' Zipstream technology efficiently compresses video, thereby decreasing storage and bandwidth usage while retaining critical forensic details. This is particularly beneficial for long-term archiving of footage without quality loss.

In conclusion, Axis Communications M3200 series models such as the M3204-V, M3203-V, M3203, and M3204 offer advanced features tailored for effective surveillance. The combination of compact design, enhanced low-light capabilities, flexible installation options, and superior image quality positions the M3200 series as a top choice for those seeking reliable and efficient security solutions.
