your own file formats.
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
Network Interface Mode (AXIS 207W only)
This setting controls how the wired and wireless network interfaces are used. It is not
possible to use both interfaces simultaneously.
IP Address Configuration
In the AXIS 207W these settings are grouped according to the network interface.
The camera’s IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, or a fixed IP address can be set
manually. A host name can be used and there are options for setting up notification of
changes in the IP address. DHCP is enabled by default.
Notes:
• DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may
lead to the situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact. Configure the options for
notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the camera when the IP
address changes.
• Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 207/207W by host name
which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
Services
Options for notification of IP address change - if the IP address for the camera changes,
e.g. automatically by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings...

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - use the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to

Click Settings... to register your AXIS 207 with the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service, or

Dynamic DNS service for your product can at any time be removed.
