CA servers

In cryptography, a Certification Authority (CA) is an entity that provides signed digital certificates for use by other parties, and thus acts a trusted third party.

There are many commercial CA’s that charge for their services. Institutions and governments may have their own CA, and there are free CA’s available.

Date & Time

Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock format in the Overlay Images (see below).

New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select Automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes.

From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:

•Synchronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.

•Synchronize with NTP Server - the camera will obtain the time from an NTP server every 60 minutes. The NTP server's IP address or host name must be specified in the TCP/IP Advanced Settings - see page 33.

•Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.

Note: When using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings. See Network > TCP/IP below.

Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the Live View video streams.

Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the help files for information on how to create your own file formats.

Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings

IP Address Configuration

Your Axis network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.

When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.

If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.

There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help.

Notes: • To receive notification whenever the camera’s IP address changes (via e.g. DHCP), configure the options for notification of IP address change. See Services below.

•Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 214 PTZ by host name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.

Services

Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional resetting of the IP address.

Notes: • The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled 2 minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.

• Pinging the unit will still be possible when this service is disabled.

214 PTZ specifications

The Axis Communications 214 PTZ is a sophisticated network camera designed for surveillance and security applications. This camera is equipped with advanced features that allow for flexible monitoring and exceptional image quality, making it a preferred choice for various environments including retail, transportation, and public spaces.

One of the standout features of the Axis 214 PTZ is its Pan-Tilt-Zoom capabilities. The camera can pan 360 degrees continuously and has a tilt range of 90 degrees, providing users with the ability to cover large areas. With its powerful zoom function, the camera can magnify subjects up to 36 times, making it easier to identify details from a distance. This is particularly useful for applications requiring detailed observation, such as monitoring entrances or tracking vehicles in a parking lot.

The 214 PTZ also boasts impressive image quality, supporting up to 4CIF resolution at full frame rate. It employs progressive scan technology and delivers clear images, even in challenging lighting conditions. This is further enhanced by features such as day/night functionality, which allows the camera to switch to infrared mode for low-light environments. The built-in wide dynamic range (WDR) capability helps to balance scenes with high contrast lighting, ensuring that both bright and dark areas are visible.

In terms of connectivity, the Axis 214 PTZ utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter by allowing the camera to receive power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This enhances flexibility in camera placement as it eliminates the need for separate power supplies. Additionally, the camera supports various video compression formats, including H.264 and Motion JPEG, optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining high-quality video streams.

Security is paramount in surveillance applications, and the Axis 214 PTZ is equipped with robust security features.
