Network - Advanced Tcp/Ip Settings - Axis 210A User Manual

Notes:
• DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may
lead to the situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact with the camera. Configure the
options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the camera when
the IP address changes.
• Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 210A/211A by host
name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
Services
Options for notification of IP address change - if the IP address for the video server

do this click Settings... and follow the instructions. For more information, please refer to
the online help.

Domain name.

The AXIS 210A/211A can obtain the correct time from an NTP server. The address for the
