AXIS 210/210A/211/211A - System Options
Network Traffic
The default setting is Auto-negotiate which means that the correct speed is automatically
selected. If necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from the drop-down
list.
Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth the AXIS
210/210A/211/211A will be allowed to use on your network. This is a useful function
when connecting the camera to busy or heavily loaded networks. The default setting is
Unlimited.
Note: When using MPEG-4 as the video format, remember that setting a maximum bandwidth value here may
create problems for individual video streams if the maximum value is less than the sum of the bit rates set
for the video streams.
For more information, please see the online help .
Network - SOCKS
SOCKS is a network proxy protocol. The cameras can be configured to use a SOCKS server
to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful if
the camera is located on a local network behind a firewall, but notifications, uploads,
alarms, etc., need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (e.g. to the Internet).
Network - SMTP (e-mail)
Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields
provided, to enable the sending of event and error e-mail messages from the camera to
predefined addresses via SMTP.
Network - SNMP (AXIS 210A/211A only)
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network
devices. Depending on the level of security required, select the version of SNMP to use. The
three levels of security are:
SNMP V1 - includes no security.
SNMP V2c - uses very simple security. The community name can be specified as a pass-
word for read or read/write access to all supported SNMP objects. The community is the
the group of network devices using SNMP.
SNMP V3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. HTTPS must be enabled.
