System Options

IEEE 802.1X

IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.

In Axis' implementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by an Certification Authority (CA). You need:

•a CA certificate to validate the identity of the authentication server

•a CA-signed client certificate and a private key to authenticate the network device. To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:

1.Obtain a CA certificate, a client certificate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).

2.Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certificate, the client certificate and the client private key.

3.Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.

4.Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.

The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path to the certificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To remove a certificate, click Remove.

The client certificate and private key are used to authenticate the network device. They can be uploaded as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Client private key field if uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To remove a file, click Remove.

Select the EAPOL version (1 or 2) as used in your network switch.

Enter the user identity (maximum 16 characters) associated with your certificate.

Enter the password (maximum 16 characters) for the private key.

Check the box to enable the IEEE 802.1X protocol.

Date & Time

The Axis product’s date and time settings are configured under System Options > Date & Time.

Current Server Time displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock in the text overlay (see below).

To change the date and time settings, select the preferred Time mode under New Server Time:

•Synchronize with computer time – Sets date and time according to the computer’s clock. With this option, date and time are set once and will not be updated automatically.

•Synchronize with NTP Server – Obtains date and time from an NTP server. With this option, date and time settings are updated continuously. For information on NTP settings, see NTP Configuration, on page 41.

M3024LVE specifications

Axis Communications M3024LVE is a compact, high-performance network camera designed for versatile indoor and outdoor surveillance applications. With its sleek and discreet design, this camera is an optimal choice for businesses and public spaces that require reliable security without compromising aesthetics.

One of the key features of the M3024LVE is its impressive image quality. Equipped with a 2 megapixel sensor, this camera offers a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, delivering clear and detailed images. The camera supports H.264 and Motion JPEG video compression formats, which ensures smooth streaming and efficient storage without sacrificing video quality. This capability is particularly beneficial for organizations with limited storage resources, allowing them to conserve bandwidth while maintaining high-resolution video.

Another notable characteristic of the M3024LVE is its built-in infrared (IR) illumination. This feature allows the camera to capture clear images in complete darkness, enhancing its effectiveness in low-light conditions. With a range of up to 30 meters, the IR capability ensures that critical surveillance areas are monitored around the clock. This makes the M3024LVE an excellent choice for both day and night monitoring in a variety of environments.

The M3024LVE is also designed with robust weather-resistant capabilities. With an IP66 and NEMA 4X rating, it can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and dust. This durability makes it suitable for outdoor installations, ensuring that users can rely on its performance regardless of the environmental challenges.

In addition to its physical characteristics, the M3024LVE integrates advanced video analytics, enhancing its functionality. Features such as motion detection, audio detection, and tampering alarm enable users to receive real-time alerts based on specific events or activities, facilitating proactive monitoring.

Moreover, Axis Communications places a strong emphasis on cybersecurity, and the M3024LVE is no exception. The camera includes several security features such as secure access, HTTPS encryption, and the ability to implement user access controls. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access the camera feed, protecting sensitive surveillance data from potential threats.

Overall, the Axis Communications M3024LVE combines high image quality, robust weather resistance, and advanced analytics in a compact design, making it an ideal solution for a myriad of surveillance needs in both indoor and outdoor environments.
