The following traps are available:

• Cold start

• Warm start

• Link up

• Authentication failed

SNMP v3

provides encryption and secure passwords. To use traps with SNMP v3, an SNMP v3 management application is required.

To use SNMP v3, HTTPS must be enabled, see

HTTPS, on page 32

. To enable SNMP v3, check the box and provide the initial user

password.

Note

The initial password can only be set once. If the password is lost, the Axis product must be reset to factory default, see

Reset to factory default settings, on page 42

UPnP

The Axis product includes support for UPnP

. UPnP

is enabled by default and the product is automatically detected by operating

systems and clients that support this protocol.

UPnP

can be disabled under

System Options > Network > UPnP

RTP/H.264

The RTP port range and multicast settings are con

gured under

System Options > Network > RTP

The RTP port range de

nes the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected. For multicast streams,

only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used.

Select

Always Multicast Video

and/or

Always Multicast Video

to start multicast streaming without opening an RTSP session.

Bonjour

The Axis product includes support for Bonjour. Bonjour is enabled by default and the product is automatically detected by operating

systems and clients that support this protocol.

Storage

SD card

The SD/SDHC memory card (not included) is managed on the

System Options > Storage

page. Click

SD card

to open

Storage

Management

Mounting is done automatically when the card is inserted or when the product boots. SD cards are normally preformatted when

purchased, but if needed, click

Format

to format the card.

Format an SD card so that it can be written to one of two available options — VFAT and ext4. During the formatting any previous

data stored on the disk will be lost. The recommended format is ext4, due to its resilience against data loss if the card is ejected

or if there is abrupt power loss. A third-party ext4 driver or application is also needed to access the

le system from Windows.

Note that most SD cards are pre-formatted with vFAT when purchased. The

Check Disk

option is used to check for errors on the SD

card and only works for the

le system ext4. The

Repair

option repairs the SD card of errors in the

le system ext4. For vFAT

system use a card reader or PC to perform card maintenance.

Note

To prevent corruption of recordings, the SD card should always be unmounted before removal.
