Basic TCP/IP Settings

The Axis product supports IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions can be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.

Network Interface Mode

The network interface to the AXIS product can be wired or wireless. Different settings can be used for each network interface, but only one can be used at a time. In Auto mode the product will use a wireless network unless a network cable is connected, in which case it will use the wired network. In Wired mode the product will require a network cable to connect to the network.

IPv4 Address Configuration

By default, the Axis product is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings are configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server. It is then possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).

If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or reset the product to the factory default settings (see page 53) and then perform the installation again.

To use a static IP address, check Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask and default router.

IPv6 Address Configuration

If IPv6 (IP version 6) is enabled, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.

To enable IPv6, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic. Other settings for IPv6 should be configured in the network router.

ARP/Ping

The product’s IP address can be assigned using ARP and Ping. For instructions, see Assign IP Address Using ARP/Ping on page 44.

The ARP/Ping service is enabled by default but is automatically disabled two minutes after the product is started, or as soon as an IP address is assigned. To re-assign IP address using ARP/Ping, the product must be restarted to enable ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.

To disable the service, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic and clear the option Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address.

Pinging the product is still possible when the service is disabled.

Assign IP Address Using ARP/Ping

The product's IP address can be assigned using ARP/Ping. The command must be issued within 2 minutes of connecting power.

1.Acquire a free static IP address on the same network segment as the computer.

2.Locate the serial number (S/N) on the product label.

3.Open a command prompt and enter the following commands:

Linux/Unix syntax

arp -s <IP address> <serial number> temp ping -s 408 <IP address>

Linux/Unix example

F44 specifications

Axis Communications has long been a leader in the field of network cameras, and its F44 series exemplifies this commitment to innovation and quality. The Axis F44 is designed primarily for surveillance and security applications across various environments. This camera's unique modular design allows for flexibility in installation, adapting to diverse user needs and specific site requirements.

One of the standout features of the Axis F44 is its dual-channel capability. This means it can support two separate camera heads, allowing users to monitor different areas simultaneously while using a single video management system. This flexibility not only saves costs in terms of installations but also maximizes coverage without needing multiple standalone cameras.

The F44 series is equipped with Axis's advanced Lightfinder technology. This feature ensures exceptional image quality even in low-light conditions, making it ideal for night surveillance. With its wide dynamic range (WDR), the F44 can capture details in complex lighting situations, such as brightly lit areas next to shadowed regions. The result is clear and balanced video footage, crucial for identifying potential threats or intruders.

Another highlight is the camera’s support for Axis Zipstream technology. This advanced compression algorithm optimizes bandwidth and storage usage without compromising video quality. By analyzing the scene and selectively compressing different regions of the video stream, Zipstream ensures essential details remain clear while reducing the overall file size. This is particularly beneficial for systems with limited bandwidth or storage resources.

The F44 also emphasizes user-friendly features, including remote configuration and management capabilities. This allows security personnel to make adjustments without being on site, saving both time and resources. Furthermore, the camera is built with an array of analytics tools that can be integrated into existing systems for enhanced functionality. These include motion detection, tampering alarm, and video analytics features which can be customized based on specific security needs.

In terms of construction, the Axis F44 series is robust and designed for durability. It is compliant with various weather-proofing standards, making it suitable for outdoor installations in various climatic conditions. The camera can also be outfitted with various lens options depending on the specific use case, further increasing its versatility.

In conclusion, the Axis F44 combines advanced imaging technologies, flexible installation options, and robust construction, making it an excellent choice for security professionals seeking reliable and high-performing surveillance solutions. Whether for urban or rural applications, the F44’s blend of features ensures it meets diverse surveillance requirements effectively.
