CA servers
In cryptography, a Certification Authority (CA) is an entity that provides signed digital certificates for use
by other parties, and thus acts a trusted third party.
There are many commercial CA’s that charge
for their services. Institutions and governments may have
their own CA, and there are free CA’s available.
Date & Time
Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h
clock format in the Overlay Images (see below).
New Server Time
- Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to
automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select Automatically adjust for daylight saving time
changes.
From the Time Mode se
ction, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
Synchronize with computer time - sets the time
from the clock on your computer.
Synchronize with NTP Server - the camera will obtain the time from an NTP server every 60
minutes. The NTP server's IP address or host name must be specified in the TCP/IP Advanced
Settings - see page 33.
Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Note:
When using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings. See Network > TCP/IP
below.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in
the Live View video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom
date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming &
Date/Time Formats in the help files for information on how to create your
own file formats.
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration
Your Axis network camera supports both
IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.
When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via
DHCP, or a static IP address can be set
manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the con
figuration in the network
router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address,
and for using the AXIS
Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help.
Notes:
To receive notification whenever the camera’s IP address changes (via e.g. DHCP), configure the options for notification of IP
address change. See Services below.
Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 214 PTZ by host name which is always the
same, regardless of the IP address.
Services
Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set
using the ARP/Ping method, which
associates the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to
prevent unintentional resetting of the IP address.
Notes:
The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled 2 minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.
Pinging the unit will still be possible when this service is disabled.
