AXIS 214 PTZ
Options for notification of IP address change - Automatic IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the
situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact with the camera. To configure notification of
changes in the IP address, click Settings... and enter the required information.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - If
the AXIS 214 PTZ has been registered with the Axis Internet
Dynamic DNS service and the IP address for the product changes, the service is updated to reflect the
change. Check the box to enable/disable automatic updates.
The domain name currently registered at the Axis Inte
rnet Dynamic DNS service for your product can be
removed at any time. To do this, click Settings... and follow the instructions.
For more information, please refer to the
online help.

DNS Configuration
DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of
host names to IP addresses on your network.
Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automati
cally use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP
server. Click the View button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address
- enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:
• Domain name - enter
the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the AXIS 214 PTZ. Multiple
domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified
Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com
where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
• P
rimary DNS server - enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
• S
econdary DNS server - will be used if the primary DNS server is unavailable.
NTP Configuration
The AXIS 214 PTZ can obtain the correct time from an
NTP server. The address for the NTP server can
either be obtained via the DHCP server, or it can be entered manually.
Host Name Configuration
The AXIS 214 PTZ can be accessed using a host name, instead of
an IP address. The host name is usually
the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is
always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain
Name myserver.mycompany.com.
Enabling dynamic DNS updates allows you to alias a dynamic IP
address to a static host name, allowing
your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. Outside users can always
access your server using the associated DNS name regardless of the WAN IP. The DNS server used by the
user and/or the DNS server responsible for the domain in use must support RFC2136 and allow updates
from the camera.
The TTL
(Time To Live) value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS server should be
remembered when checking that the domain name for the registered IP address is still valid.
Link-Local IPv4 Address
Link-Local Address is enabled by default and
assigns the AXIS 214 PTZ with an additional IP address for
the UPnP protocol. The AXIS 214 PTZ can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP IP address at the
same time - these will not affect each other. See Network - UPnP™, on page
35.
HTTP
The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to
any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful
for e.g. simple security port mapping.
