System Options

2.Select an HTTPS certificate from the list of installed certificates.

3.Optionally, click Ciphers and select the encryption algorithms to use for SSL.

4.Set the HTTPS Connection Policy for the different user groups.

5.Click Save to enable the settings.

To access the Axis product via the desired protocol, enter https:// or http:// in the address field in a browser.

The HTTPS port can be changed on the System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced page.

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 be authenticated. The authentication is performed by an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.

In Axis implementation, the Axis product and the authentication server identify themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by a Certification Authority (CA). You need:

•a CA certificate to authenticate the authentication server.

•a CA-signed client certificate to authenticate the Axis product.

To create and install certificates, go to System Options > Security > Certificates . See Certificates on page 42. Many CA certificates are preinstalled.

To allow the product to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:

1.Go to System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X.

2.Select a CA Certificate and a Client Certificate from the lists of installed certificates.

3.Under Settings, select the EAPOL version and provide the EAP identity associated with the client certificate.

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

Note

For authentication to work properly, the date and time settings in the Axis product should be synchronized with an NTP server. See Date & Time on page 43.

Certificates

Certificates are used to authenticate devices on a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), network protection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notification messages for example via email. Two types of certificates can be used with the Axis product:

Server/Client certificates - To authenticate the Axis product.

CA certificates - To authenticate peer certificates, for example the certificate of an authentication server in case the Axis product is connected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network.

Note

Installed certificates, except preinstalled CA certificates, will be deleted if the product is reset to factory default. Preinstalled CA certificates that have been deleted will be reinstalled.

A Server/Client certificate can be self-signed or issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). A self-signed certificate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certificate has been obtained.

P1427-LE specifications

The Axis Communications P1427-LE is a cutting-edge network camera designed for exceptional surveillance and monitoring in diverse environments. Renowned for its robust build quality and advanced technological features, the P1427-LE is a crucial asset for security professionals and organizations seeking high-performance video surveillance solutions.

One of the standout features of the P1427-LE is its exceptional image quality. The camera utilizes a 4 MP sensor, which delivers crisp and clear video footage, ensuring that even the finest details are captured accurately. With a wide dynamic range (WDR) capability, the camera can effectively handle challenging lighting conditions, rendering clear images in both bright and dark areas simultaneously. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for environments with varying light conditions, such as entrances and exits.

The P1427-LE is also equipped with sophisticated low-light performance capabilities, allowing for enhanced visibility in dimly lit locations. Thanks to its Lightfinder technology, the camera can deliver color images in near-total darkness, ensuring around-the-clock surveillance reliability.

Durability is another key aspect of the P1427-LE. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, the camera complies with IP66 and NEMA 4X standards, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including extreme environments. Its rugged construction and IK10 rating for impact resistance provide additional peace of mind regarding physical security.

The camera features advanced analytics capabilities, including motion detection and event-triggered recording, allowing users to efficiently monitor areas of interest. Additionally, its built-in AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Perimeter Defender applications facilitate smarter video surveillance by reducing false alarms and enhancing situational awareness.

Connectivity is also a major highlight of the P1427-LE. With Power over Ethernet (PoE), the installation process is simplified, as both power and data can be transmitted through a single cable. This feature not only reduces installation costs but also enhances flexibility in positioning the camera.

In conclusion, the Axis Communications P1427-LE is a versatile and high-performance network camera that excels in various applications. Its combination of superior image quality, robust durability, advanced analytics, and user-friendly installation makes it an invaluable tool for enhancing security and ensuring reliable surveillance in any setting. Whether used for commercial, industrial, or public safety applications, the P1427-LE stands out as a leader in modern surveillance technology.
