AXIS P1427–LE Network Camera

System Options

NTP Configuration

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize the clock times of devices in a network. The NTP settings are configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Select Obtain NTP server address via DHCP to use the NTP settings provided by the DHCP server.

To make manual settings, select Use the following NTP server address and enter the host name or IP address of the NTP server.

Host Name Configuration

The Axis product can be accessed using a host name instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS name. The host name is configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Select Obtain host name via IPv4 DHCP to use host name provided by the DHCP server running on IPv4.

Select Use the host name to set the host name manually.

Select Enable dynamic DNS updates to dynamically update local DNS servers whenever the Axis product’s IP address changes.

For more information, see the online help .

Link-Local IPv4 Address

Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the Axis product an additional IP address which can be used to access the product from other hosts on the same segment on the local network. The product can have a Link-Local IP and a static or DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time.

This function can be disabled under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

HTTP

The HTTP port used by the Axis product can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In addition to the default setting, which is 80, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.

HTTPS

The HTTPS port used by the Axis product can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In addition to the default setting, which is 443, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.

To enable HTTPS, go to System Options > Security > HTTPS. For more information, see HTTPS on page 41.

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router is forwarded to the product.

NAT traversal is configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

•For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnPTM.

•The router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnPTM. Note that UPnPTM must be enabled in the product (see System Options > Network > UPnP).

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.
