System Options

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 controlling 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 different types of traffic.

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 35. 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 46.

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.

P1214 specifications

Axis Communications P1214 is a compact, high-performance network camera designed to deliver exceptional video surveillance capabilities in a variety of applications. With its advanced features and cutting-edge technology, the P1214 is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a versatile choice for security monitoring.

One of the standout features of the P1214 is its high-resolution video capability, providing crisp 720p HD video quality that allows for detailed image capture in a variety of lighting conditions. This enables users to clearly identify and monitor individuals and objects within the camera’s field of view. The camera also boasts a wide dynamic range (WDR) technology which enhances image quality in challenging lighting situations, allowing for clear details in both bright and dark areas of the scene.

The P1214 is equipped with a built-in infrared (IR) illuminator, which enables night vision capabilities. This feature allows the camera to capture video in complete darkness, providing round-the-clock surveillance. The integration of the IR illuminator ensures that the camera remains vigilant even when visibility is low, thus enhancing its overall effectiveness in security applications.

Another critical characteristic of the P1214 is its compact design.
