AXIS 221 - System Options
HTTPS
The AXIS 221 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 server 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 on this server.
For more information, please refer to the online help .
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 Images (see below).
New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the AXIS
221 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. Specify the NTP server's IP address or host name.
•Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Note: Note that 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 Live View video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced
File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the help files for information on how to create
your own file formats.
