network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the camera talks only to the
DHCP server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server. The camera sends its hostname
to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly.
This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal DHCP and DNS service and the user
wants only to access their camera within their own network.
By default, when making a DHCP request the camera will transmit its hostname as part of the DHCP request.
This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable parameter "camera name"
on the web GUI. Any DHCP request will contain the cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to
an appropriate DNS server.

Network Name Resolution

The camera uses DNS protocol to resolve network names. DNS server address will be acquired via DHCP or
manually set for static IP configuration. Camera configuration supports symbolic names for all remote end-points
(except DNS servers) but in this mode will depend on a working and correctly configured remote DNS server.

Email

The camera can send email alerts via SMTP to one specified mailbox using a specified SMTP server. Support is
provided for basic authenticated SMTP using username and password for login on the SMTP server.

Time Synchronization and Configuration

The camera supports NTP for time synchronization. The NTP server will have to be configured by the user.
Alternatively, time can be manually configured via the Web GUI or ONVIF.Time synchronization has 1/day poll
rate.

Authentication and Security

• HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) is used for the Web GUI. HTTP connections to the camera IP will
automatically be redirected to the HTTPS login page.
• The camera will automatically create a SSL certificate file to use for HTTPS. It is possible to upload a
custom SSL certificate if validation is desired.
• The ONVIF service uses WS-Security Username Token Digest.

Firewall

The camera will provide a firewall, which is disabled by default. The firewall will be able to block ICMP and allow
RP filtering and SYN Cookie Verification.The firewall will offer the ability to block selected IP or MAC addresses
and allow access exclusively to selected IP and MAC addresses.
