Date & Time
Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be
displayed in 12h clock format in overlay images.
New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list and check the daylight
saving time changes, if desired.
From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
• Synchronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.
• Synchronize with NTP Server - the video server will obtain the time from an NTP
server every 60 minutes. Specify the NTP server's IP address or host name.
Note:
Note that if using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings.
See Network > Advanced TCP/IP Settings below.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or
24h) displayed in the Live View video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See File
Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online help
your own file formats.

IP Address Configuration
Your Axis network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may
be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.
When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address
can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in
the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for
using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP
address, please see the online help.
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. Configure
the options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from
the video server when the IP address changes.
•Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 240Q by
host name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
