AXIS Q7401 - System Options
Note:
If using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings.
See Network > Basic TCP/IP Settings below.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming & Date/Time Formats
in the online help for information on how to create your own date and time formats.
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
AXIS P3301/-V support 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 video encoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or
a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the video encoders receive an IP address according to the
configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more
information on setting the IP address, please see the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
Network Settings - Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the video encoder.
IPv4 Address Configuration - Check this box 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 using dynamic IP address notification (see below), or if your DHCP server can update a
DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS Q7401 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot
access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the AXIS Q7401, check the radio button and then make the
following settings:
•IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS Q7401. (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 AXIS Q7401 is located on
•Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different
networks and network segments.
IPv6 Address Configuration - Check the box 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.
Note:
The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is
set.
Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
