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 com- puter.
•Synchronize with NTP server - the video server obtains the time from an NTP server every 60 minutes. Specify the NTP server's IP address or host name.
Note: Note that if using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings. See Network > Advanced TCP/IP Settings below.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
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 File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online help 
for information on how to create your own date and time formats.
Network - Basic TCP/IP settings
IP Address Configuration
Your Axis network camera 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 can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help.
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 with the camera. 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 |
| 241QA/AXIS 241SA by host name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address. |
Services
Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP Address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional resetting of the IP address.
