DNS Configuration
The Domain Name Service (DNS) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network.
Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP server. Click the View button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:
Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the camera. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
Host Name Configuration
The camera can be accessed using a host name instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com.
Enable dynamic DNS updates - The camera includes support for dynamically updating local DNS servers whenever the product's IP address changes. Check this box to enable the function.
Note: Note that these settings concern the use of local DNS servers and should not be confused with the settings for the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
Register DNS name - The name entered here will be associated with the camera's IP address in the DNS server. An example of a DNS name is Axisproduct.example.com
TTL (Time To Live) - This value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS server should be remembered by clients when they check that the domain name for the registered IP address is still valid. This reduces the number of times the client needs to query the DNS server, which in turn reduces network usage.
