AXIS P1346–E Network Camera

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.

Certificates

 

CA Certificate

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.

Client certificate

The client certificate and private key are used to authenticate the network device. They can be

Client private key

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.

Settings

 

EAPOL version

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

EAP identity

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

Private key password

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

Enable IEEE 802.1X

Check the box to enable the IEEE 802.1X protocol.

Audio Support

Select Enable audio support to allow clients to retrieve audio streams from the Axis product. For information on how to configure audio settings, see Audio Settings, on page 25.

Note

Deselecting this option will disable audio globally in the Axis product, for configured events and profiles with audio as well.

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).

P1346-E specifications

Axis Communications P1346-E is a high-performance network camera designed for outdoor surveillance applications. This device combines advanced technology with ease of use, ensuring reliable security monitoring in various environments. The P1346-E is part of Axis’s extensive line of IP cameras, recognized for their quality and innovation in the field of network video surveillance.

One of the standout features of the P1346-E is its 1/2.8 inch progressive scan CMOS sensor, which enables high-definition video capture at resolutions up to 1080p (1920x1080 pixels). This resolution not only provides exceptional image clarity but also allows for detailed identification of subjects, making it an optimal choice for critical surveillance areas.

The P1346-E incorporates Axis's Lightfinder technology, which enhances the camera's performance in low-light conditions. This innovative feature delivers color images in dim environments, enabling comprehensive monitoring even during nighttime or in poorly lit areas. Additionally, it supports Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which captures details in both bright and dark areas of the scene. This is particularly beneficial in challenging lighting situations, such as entrances with powerful glare or areas transitioning between light and shadow.

Another notable aspect of the P1346-E is its weather-resistant design, rated IP66, meaning it can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and dust. This ruggedness makes it suitable for outdoor deployment in a variety of climates. The camera is also equipped with an integrated heater, ensuring functionality in extreme cold temperatures.

In terms of connectivity, the P1346-E supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installations by allowing power and data transmission through a single cable. This feature enhances flexibility in camera placement and reduces installation costs. Moreover, the camera supports dual stream capabilities, allowing different video compression formats for various applications, such as H.264 and Motion JPEG.

The P1346-E is also equipped with intelligent analytics capabilities, such as motion detection and audio detection, which can trigger alerts or notifications. This adds an additional layer of security, enabling proactive monitoring of monitored areas.

In summary, the Axis Communications P1346-E is a sophisticated outdoor surveillance solution combining high-definition video quality, advanced imaging technologies, rugged design, and flexible deployment options. With its array of features, it provides reliable security solutions for various applications, from urban surveillance to critical infrastructure monitoring.
