QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be
defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can
be summarized as:
• The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
• Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of
the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus
control over bandwidth races between applications.
The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various
types of network traffic originating from the
product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of
traffic. The network camera marks the following types of traffic:
•video
•event/alarm
• management network traffic
QoS Settings - For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis net
work video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated
Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router
or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch the type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for
example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved
values are always shown in decimal.

SMTP (email)
Enter the host names (or IP addresses) and port numbers for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields provided, to
enable the sending of notifications and image email messages from the camera to predefined addresses via SMTP.
If your mail server requires authen
tication, check the box for Use authentication to log in to this server and enter the
necessary information. See the online help for more information.
SNMP
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 password 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.
Traps for SNMP v1/v2
Traps are used by the camera to send messages to a managemen
t system for important events or status changes. These
settings are used with SNMP v1/v2. To activate trap reporting, enter the IP address of the management server, and choose the
trap community to use when sending a trap message to the management system.
UPnP™
The network camera includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the network camera then is automatically
detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.
