HTTPS

The default HTTPS port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. HTTPS is used to provide encrypted web browsing.

NAT Traversal

A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside” i.e. the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop any attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.

Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 231D+/232D+ is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router will be forwarded to the camera.

Notes: • For NAT traversal to work, this must also be supported by the broadband router.

•The broadband router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 231D+/232D+ will attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the camera (see System Options > Network > UPnP).

Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in the field provided.

If a router is not manually specified, the AXIS 231D+/232D+ automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is found, the default router will be selected.

Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field provided. If no port is entered here a port number will automatically be selected when NAT traversal is enabled.

232d+ specifications

Axis Communications, a leading provider of IP security solutions, offers a range of high-performance cameras designed for various surveillance applications. Among their products, the Axis 232D+ and Axis 231D+ stand out for their robust features and advanced technologies, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

The Axis 232D+ is a high-speed dome camera that delivers exceptional video quality, thanks to its 1/4-inch progressive scan CCD sensor. It offers a resolution of 704x480 pixels and can capture incredibly detailed images at up to 30 frames per second. With its pan/tilt functionality, the 232D+ can cover a wide field of view, allowing for extensive monitoring areas while maintaining high precision and responsiveness.

In addition to its impressive image quality, the Axis 232D+ features advanced digital zoom capabilities, enabling users to zoom into specific areas without significant loss of detail. The camera is equipped with a powerful infrared capability, allowing it to capture images in low-light conditions effectively. This makes it an ideal choice for 24/7 surveillance in all lighting scenarios.

On the other hand, the Axis 231D+ offers similar high-quality video performance but introduces some distinctive features. It also utilizes a 1/4-inch progressive scan CCD sensor and supports a wide dynamic range (WDR) for improved image quality in challenging lighting conditions. The 231D+ is designed for easy installation and integration into existing systems, making it a versatile option for various surveillance needs.

Both models leverage Axis' digital PTZ technology, providing users with the flexibility to pan, tilt, and zoom remotely via an intuitive web interface. This user-friendly aspect simplifies monitoring and allows quicker responses to incidents when they arise.

Furthermore, both the Axis 232D+ and 231D+ support Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installation, especially in hard-to-reach locations.

In conclusion, the Axis 232D+ and 231D+ represent Axis Communications’ commitment to delivering high-quality, versatile surveillance solutions that meet the demands of modern security challenges. Their advanced imaging technologies, robust features, and user-friendly design make them noteworthy additions to any security setup. Whether it's for large outdoor areas or indoor environments requiring vigilant monitoring, these cameras provide the performance and reliability critical for comprehensive security.
