Motion Detection The AXIS M10 Series can detect moving objects in its field of vision using video motion detection. The AXIS M1031-W and AXIS M1054 can also detect infrared object motion using the PIR Sensor (see page 31). Video Motion Detection Video motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the video image.
PIR Sensor The AXIS M1031-W/AXIS M1054 is also able to detect motion using the PIR Sensor. Since the PIR Sensor can detect a moving infrared object such as a person in the dark, it can be used as an intruder alarm when, for example, a thief tries to break into a building at night.
Enable Basic Setup - Before using the AXIS M10 Series Network Camera, there are certain settings that should be made, most of which require Administrator access privileges. To quickly access these settings use the Basic Setup in the menu. All settings are also available from the standard setup links in the menu.
Camera with an NTP server. • It is recommended to use an NTP server for time synchronization. The AXIS M10 Series network camera's clock stops when there is no power. The NTP server will synchronize the time automatically when power is restored.
Basic TCP/IP Settings The AXIS M10 Series 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 for the camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
Page 35
Note: DHCP should only be enabled if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS M10 Series Network Camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products or reset the network camera to factory default settings and then per- form the installation again.

This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will not appear unless the camera is linked to it. The network the AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W is currently linked to is shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey.
WPA-/WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key) The AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W uses a pre-shared key (PSK) to initiate WPA security. The pre-shared key is entered on the access point and on each device on the wireless network. The key can be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters, or as a Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.

SOCKS SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis network camera can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful if the network camera is located on a local network behind a firewall, and notifications, uploads, alarms, and such need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (such as the Internet).
