AXIS P3225-LV Network Camera System Options NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4 A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).
PAGE 50
AXIS P3225-LV Network Camera System Options QoS (Quality of Service) QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network.
