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 (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 the 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.

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

Note: • If 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 video streams.

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

Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings

IP Address Configuration

The AXIS 216FD/FD-V 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 for the camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.

If IPv6 is enabled, the AXIS 216FD/FD-V will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.
