Network Address Configuration
•
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
will be enabled by default on the camera.
During the boot process, the camera will attempt to acquire a network address via DHCP. The
DHCP client will be configured to do 3 attempts with a 20 second timeout.
•
Static IP
can be used if the dome cannot be found on the network using DHCP. In this mode, the
a static IP address, subnet mask, default router and a primary and secondary DNS server can
be configured. This will be used by the dome when turned on. It is possible to assign a static
IPv4 address while still allowing the IPv6 addressing to be Link Local (automatically assigned).
•
Dynamic DNS or DDNS Dynamic Domain Name System
is supported for updating, in real
time a changing IP address on the Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource
that may change location on the network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name
System. In this situation the dome talks only to the DHCP server and the DHCP server is
responsible for updating the DNS server. The dome sends its hostname to the DHCP server
when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly. This
is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal DHCP and DNS service
and the user wants only to access their camera within their own network.


By default, when making a DHCP request the dome will transmit its hostname as part of the
DHCP request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the
configurable parameter “camera name” on the web GUI. Any DHCP request will contain the
cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.
Network Name Resolution
The dome uses DNS protocol to resolve network names. DNS server address will be acquired via
DHCP or manually set for static IP configuration. Camera configuration supports symbolic names
for all remote end-points (except DNS servers) but in this mode will depend on a working and
correctly configured remote DNS server.
Email
The dome can send email alerts via SMTP to one specified mailbox using a specified SMTP
server. Support is provided for basic authenticated SMTP using username and password for login
on the SMTP server.
Remote Shell Access
For security reason, remote shell access is limited exclusively to American Dynamics Level 3
Technical Support. This function is not available to the end-user.
I
t is recommended to keep SSH Enable disabled. This function should only be enabled this when it
is requested by American Dynamics Level 3 Technical Support.
Authentication and Security
• HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) is used for the Web GUI. HTTP connections to the dome IP will
automatically be redirected to the HTTPS login page.
• The dome will automatically create a SSL certificate file to use for HTTPS. It is possible to
upload a custom SSL certificate if validation is desired.
• The ONVIF service uses WS-Security Username Token Digest.
