Axis P3344-VE [39/68] Network

AXIS P33 Series - System Options

Network

Basic TCP/IP Settings

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 for the camera can be set automatically via DHCP,

or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network cameras receive an IP address according to the

configuration in the network router. There are also options for using AVHS (AXIS Video Hosting System) and AXIS Internet

Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, see the online help

Network Settings - Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the network camera.

IPv4 Address Configuration - Check the Enable IPv4 box option to enable IPv4.

Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators

centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP

server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a

particular MAC address.

Note:

DHCP should only be enabled if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the Net-

work Camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP Utility to search

the network for connected Axis products or reset the network camera to factory default settings and then perform the

installation again.

Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the Network Camera, check the radio button and then make

the following settings:

• IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is

available or not, click the Test button)

• Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on

• Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to differ-

ent networks and network segments.

IPv6 Address Configuration - Check the Enable IPv6 box option to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in

the network router.

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 two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.

In order to reset the IP address, the camera must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.

• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

AXIS Video Hosting System (AVHS)

AVHS used in conjunction with an AVHS service provides easy and secure Internet access to live and recorded video accessible

from any location. For more information and help to find a local AVHS Service Provider go to www.axis.com/products/avhs

Enable AVHS - Enabled by default; if AVHS is not to be used this option can be disabled.

One-click enabled - Press the camera’s control button (see Hardware overview, on page 6) to connect to an AVHS service

over the Internet. Once registered, Always will be enabled and the camera will stay connected to the AVHS service. If the

camera is not registered within 24 hours from when the button was pressed, the camera will disconnect from the AVHS

service.
