Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration - The AXIS 212 PTZ/AXIS 212 PTZ-V 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 vi
a DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of chang
es 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 for example, 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 212 PTZ/AXIS 212 PTZ-V 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.
Options for notification of IP address change - if the IP address for the camera changes, for example,
automatically by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings... and enter the required
information.
