Note

H.264 video streams will not be ava ilable if the RTSP server is disabled.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can b e conﬁ gured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other

side of a ﬁrewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a local network behind a ﬁrewall, and

notiﬁcations, uploads, alarms, e tc need to be send to a destination outsid e the local network (for example the Internet).

SOCKS is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more informatio n, see the online help

QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a speciﬁed resource to selected trafﬁc on a network. A QoS-aware network

prioritizes network trafﬁc and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.

TheQoSsettingsareconﬁgured under System Options > N etwork > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the

Axis product can mark the following types of trafﬁc: live video, event/alarm trafﬁc and management trafﬁc.

SMTP (email)

To send email messages from the Axis product via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), an SMTP mail server must be set up. This

is done under System Options > Network > SMTP (email).

Enter the host names or IP addresses and port numbers for the primary and secondary mail servers in the ﬁelds provided. A From

email address is also required. If the mail server requires authentication, check Use authentication to log in to this server and enter

the necessary information.

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote manag ement of network devices. An SN

MP community is the

group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.

The Axis product can be conﬁgured to s upport SNMP on the System Options > Network > SNMP page.

Depending on the level of security required, select the version on SNMP to use.

SNMP v1/v2 provides the lowest level of security. The community name can be speciﬁed as a password for read or read/write

access to all supported SNMP devices. The default password for the Read community is public and the default password for the

Write community is write.

Note

If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.

Traps for SNMP v1/v2 are used b

y the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and s tatus

changes. Check Enable traps and enter the IP ad dress where the trap message should be s ent and the Trap community that

should receive the message.

The following traps are a v ailable:

•Coldstart

•Warmstart

•Linkup

• Authentication failed

SNMP v3 provides encryption and secure passwords. To use traps w ith SNMP v3, an SNMP v3 management application is required.
