Network - QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as e.g. a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, no packet losses, etc. The main benefits of a
•the ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser prior- ity.
•greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications.
The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various types of network traffic originating from the product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to e.g. reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The following types of traffic are marked:
•live video
•live audio
•event/alarm traffic
•management network traffic
It is important to remember that to be able to use QoS, your network must be properly configured. If you are unsure as to whether your network is QoS aware, please check with your network administrator.
QoS Settings
For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hexadecimal form, but saved values are always shown in decimal.

Network - SMTP (email)
Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields provided, to enable the sending of event and error email messages from the camera to predefined addresses via SMTP.
Network - SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows the remote management of network devices. Select the version of SNMP to use, depending on the level of security required. HTTPS should be enabled when setting the password for SNMPv3.
Network - UPnP™
The camera includes support for UPnP™, which is enabled by default. If also enabled on your computer, the camera will automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to “My Network Places.”
Note: UPnP must also be enabled on your Windows XP or ME computer. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open the Networking Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP as the service to add.
Network - RTP (Multicast)/MPEG-4
