AXIS M1014 Network Camera
System Options
Use manually selected NAT router -
Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in
the field. If no router is specified, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is
found, the default router is selected.
Alternative HTTP port -
Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter a port in the range 1024–65535. If the
port field is empty or contains the default setting, which is 0, a port number is automatically selected when enabling NAT traversal.
Note
• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does not
support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.
• When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this, enter a new port number and click

FTP
The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled
under
System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced
.
Note
This FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.
RTSP
The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be
changed under
System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced
. The default port is 554.
Note
H.264 video streams will not be available if the RTSP server is disabled.
SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be configured 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, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).
SOCKS is configured under
System Options > Network > SOCKS
. For more information, 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.
The QoS settings are configured under
System Options > Network > QoS
. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the
Axis product can mark different types of traffic.
UPnP
TM
The Axis product includes support for UPnP
TM
. UPnP
TM
is enabled by default and the product is automatically detected by operating
systems and clients that support this protocol.
UPnP
TM
can be disabled under
System Options > Network > UPnP
RTP/H.264
The RTP port range and multicast settings are configured under
System Options > Network > RTP
.
The RTP port range defines the range of ports from which the video ports are automatically selected. For multicast streams, only
certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used.
