AXIS M3025–VE Network Camera
System Options
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 the following types of traffic: live video, event/alarm traffic and management traffic.
SMTP (email)
To send email messages from the Axis product via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), an SMTP mail server must be set up. This
is done under
System Options > Network > SMTP (email)
.
Enter the host names or IP addresses and port numbers for the primary and secondary mail servers in the fields provided. A
From
email address
is also required. If the mail server requires authentication, check
Use authentication to log in to this server
and enter
the necessary information.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNMP community is the
group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.
The Axis product can be configured to support SNMP on the
System Options > Network > SNMP
page.
Depending on the level of security required, select the version on SNMP to use.
SNMP v1/v2
provides the lowest level of security. The community name can be specified as a password for read or read/write
access to all supported SNMP devices. The default password for the
Read community
is public and the default password for the
Write community
is write.
Note
If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.
Traps for SNMP v1/v2
are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status
changes. Check
Enable traps
and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent and the
Trap community
that
should receive the message.
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 37
. To enable SNMP v3, check the box and provide the initial user
password.
