Options for notification of IP address change - Automatic IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact with the camera. To configure notification of changes in the IP address, click Settings... and enter the required information.

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - If the AXIS 214 PTZ has been registered with the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service and the IP address for the product changes, the service is updated to reflect the change. Check the box to enable/disable automatic updates.

The domain name currently registered removed at any time. To do this, click

at the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service for your product can be Settings... and follow the instructions.

Network - Advanced TCP/IP Settings

DNS Configuration

DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network.

Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP server. Click the View button to see the current settings.

Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:

•Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the AXIS 214 PTZ. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.

•Primary DNS server - enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.

•Secondary DNS server - will be used if the primary DNS server is unavailable.

NTP Configuration

The AXIS 214 PTZ can obtain the correct time from an NTP server. The address for the NTP server can either be obtained via the DHCP server, or it can be entered manually.

Host Name Configuration

The AXIS 214 PTZ can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com.

Enabling dynamic DNS updates allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. Outside users can always access your server using the associated DNS name regardless of the WAN IP. The DNS server used by the user and/or the DNS server responsible for the domain in use must support RFC2136 and allow updates from the camera.

The TTL (Time To Live) value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS server should be remembered when checking that the domain name for the registered IP address is still valid.

Link-Local IPv4 Address

Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 214 PTZ with an additional IP address for the UPnP protocol. The AXIS 214 PTZ can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other. See Network - UPnP™, on page 35.

HTTP

The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple security port mapping.
