AXIS P3354 Network Camera

System Options

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).

Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in the field. If no router is specified, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is found, the default router is selected.

Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field. If no port is entered here, a port number is automatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.

Note

•An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does not support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.

•If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.

•When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.

FTP

The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

This FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.

RTSP

The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.

Note

H.264 video streams will not be available if the RTSP server is disabled.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other side of a firewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a local network behind a firewall, and notifications, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).

SOCKS is configured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help .

P3354 specifications

Axis Communications P3354 is a high-performance network camera designed to meet the demands of modern security and surveillance applications. Engineered with advanced imaging technologies, this camera offers exceptional video quality, reliability, and versatility for various environments.

One of the key features of the P3354 is its high-resolution video capabilities. With a 2 MP sensor, the camera delivers crisp images at resolutions up to 1080p. This ensures clear and detailed video footage, making it suitable for identifying faces or reading license plates in security-critical applications. The camera supports multiple streaming formats, allowing users to select the appropriate compression and resolution for their specific needs.

The P3354 is built with Axis’ proprietary Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which enhances image quality in challenging lighting conditions. This is particularly useful in outdoor settings where there can be a significant contrast between light and dark areas. The camera can capture details in both bright highlights and dark shadows, ensuring comprehensive coverage of a scene.

Additionally, the P3354 features Lightfinder technology, which is designed to optimize performance in low-light environments. This innovative technology utilizes a sensitivity-enhancing mechanism that allows the camera to produce color images even in very low light, making it an ideal solution for nighttime security.

The camera's robust design is built to withstand environmental challenges. It comes with an IP66 rating, ensuring that it is dust-tight and can withstand heavy rain, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The P3354 is also equipped with a tamper-resistant casing to deter vandalism and unauthorized access.

Axis’ application platform enables users to integrate the P3354 with various video management systems and smart analytics features. The camera supports features such as motion detection, audio detection, and tampering alarm, ensuring proactive security monitoring.

Installation and configuration are user-friendly, thanks to the camera's Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, which simplifies wiring requirements. The P3354 can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings, providing flexible placement options to meet surveillance needs.

In summary, the Axis Communications P3354 is a versatile network camera that combines high-resolution imaging, advanced technologies like WDR and Lightfinder, along with a durable design suited for various environmental conditions. With these features, the P3354 stands as a reliable choice for comprehensive surveillance and security applications.
