AXIS 216FD/FD-V - System Options 34

Notes: •If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.

•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP address filtering must be enabled.

•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter- ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP addresses.

HTTPS

The AXIS 216FD/FD-V supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS.

A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some protection, true security will only be implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority.

A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the Create Certificate Request button. When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of any certificate request currently resident in the camera or installed can also be viewed by clicking the Properties... button. The HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists to enable HTTPS in the camera.

802.1x - Network Admission Control

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Admission Control. It provides authentication to devices attached to a network port (wired or wireless), establishing a point-to-point connection, or, if authentication fails, preventing access on that port.

802.1x is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

In a 802.1x enabled network switch, clients equipped with the correct software can be authenticated and allowed or denied network access at the Ethernet level.

Clients and servers in an 802.1x network may need to authenticate each other by some means. In the Axis implementation this is done with the help of digital certificates provided by a Certification Authority. These are then validated by a third-party entity, such as a RADIUS server, examples of which are Free Radius and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.

To perform the authentication, the RADIUS server uses various EAP methods/protocols, of which there are many. The one used in the Axis implementation is EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security).

This ensures that every detail is captured, whether in broad daylight or in low-light conditions, thanks to the cameras' exceptional low-light performance. The ability to produce clear images in diverse lighting situations makes them ideal for installation in various environments such as retail spaces, transportation hubs, and public venues.

In addition to high-definition video, the Axis 216FD/FD-V series also offers advanced video analytics, which can help users gain deeper insights into their surveillance data. Features like motion detection and tampering alarm capabilities enhance security by alerting users to any suspicious activity. Moreover, the built-in Axis Zipstream technology reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality, making it an efficient choice for businesses looking to minimize costs.

The design of the Axis 216FD/FD-V cameras is another highlight. Featuring a discreet, compact dome form factor, they can be seamlessly integrated into various environments. Their vandal-resistant casing maximizes durability, ensuring reliable operation even in high-risk areas. The cameras are also IP66-rated, providing protection against dust and harsh weather conditions, an essential characteristic for outdoor surveillance.

Installation and integration are made easy with the Axis 216FD/FD-V series. The cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for simpler connectivity and reducing the need for additional power cabling. Additionally, they are compatible with Axis Camera Management software, facilitating efficient management and configuration.

In summary, the Axis 216FD/FD-V series offers a compelling combination of features and technologies. With its high-definition image quality, intelligent video analytics, durable design, and easy installation, this series represents a versatile solution for modern surveillance needs, reaffirming Axis Communications’ status as a pioneer in the field of network video surveillance.
