Basic TCP/IP settings
The Axis product supports IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6).
The Axis product can get an IP address in the following ways:
• Dynamic IP address – Obtain IP address via DHCP is selected by default. This means that the Axis product is set to get
the IP address automatically via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
DHCP allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses.
• Static IP address – To use a static IP address, select Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask
and default router. Then click Save.
DHCP should only be enabled when using dynamic IP address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server that makes
it possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or
reset the product to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again. For information about how to reset to
factory default, see page 33.
AXIS Video Hosting System (AVHS)
AVHS used in conjunction with an AVHS service, provides easy and secure Internet access to controller management and logs
accessible from any location. For more information and help to find a local AVHS Service Provider go to www.axis.com/hosting
The AVHS settings are configured under Setup > Additional Controller Configuration > System Options > Network > TCP IP >
Basic. The possibility to connect to an AVHS service is enabled by default. To disable, clear the Enable AVHS box.
One-click enabled - Press and hold the product's control button (see Product overview on page 5 ) for about 3 seconds to connect to
an AVHS service over the Internet. Once registered, Always will be enabled and the Axis product stays connected to the AVHS service.
If the product is not registered within 24 hours from when the button is pressed, the product will disconnect from the AVHS service.
Always - The Axis product will constantly attempt to connect to the AVHS service over the Internet. Once registered, the product will
stay connected to the service. This option can be used when the product is already installed and it is not convenient or possible to
use the one-click installation.
Note
AVHS support is dependent on the availability of subscriptions from service providers.
