2. If you are using an external NTP server, select how the server is configured:
l
DHCP
.
l
Manual
. Select this option and then enter the server address in the
NTP Server
field.
8. In the MTU area, set the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size in bytes. Enter a number between the
available range displayed on the right. You may want to lower the MTU size if your network
connection is slow.
9. In the Ethernet Setting area, set the
Speed & Duplex
for your network connection. The Auto-
negotiation (default) setting is the preferred setting for most cameras, and will negotiate the optimal
speed and duplex setting for your network connection. If necessary, you can manually select the
speed and duplex setting for your connection.
10. In the Security area, set the
Minimum TLS version
that the camera should use for encrypting the
communication between camera and server and block older TLS versions that should not be used.
l
TLS 1.2
is recommended for increased security.
l
TLS 1.1
can be selected if it is required for backwards compatibility.
11. (PTZ Cameras and Cameras that support external pan and tilt control only) PTZ Priority Mode is a
feature that improves video latency by disabling network traffic shaping. Video latency is higher
when network traffic shaping is enabled and packets are delayed to reduce network traffic spikes.
Set the
Priority Mode
that best suits your system:
Tip:
Network traffic spikes may result in packet loss.
l
Controlled (Default)
. This default option will allow your ACC system to control the PTZ priority
mode. When an ACC Client has the PTZ controls selected, PTZ priority mode will be enabled.
l
Enabled
. Select this option to override ACC Client control and set PTZ priority mode to always
be enabled. Select this option to improve video latency.
l
Disabled
. Select this option to override ACC Client control and set PTZ priority mode to
always be disabled. Select this option to use network traffic shaping to reduce traffic spikes.

Configuring 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
If your network switch requires 802.1x port-based authentication, you can set up the appropriate camera
credentials so that the video stream is not blocked by the switch.
1. In the left-menu pane, select
Network > 802.1x
.
2. On the Configure 802.1x Profiles page, select the preferred authentication method. You can
configure multiple profiles. Be aware that you can only enable one profile at a time.
From the
EAP Method
drop-down list, select one of the following and complete the related fields:
