Note
Digital signature is different from Signed video. Signed video allows video to be traced back to the camera it originated from,
making it possible to verify that the recording hasn't been tampered with after it left the camera. See Signed video and the
camera's user manual for more information.
Network configuration
When AXIS Camera Station client, AXIS Camera Station server, and the connected network devices are installed on different networks,
you might need to configure proxy or firewall settings before using AXIS Camera Station.
Client proxy settings
When the client and the server are separated by a proxy server, configure the client proxy settings.
1. Double-click the AXIS Camera Station client icon.
2. Click Change client proxy settings.
3. Change the client proxy settings.
4. Click OK.
Server proxy settings
When network devices and the server are separated by a proxy server, configure the server proxy settings.
1. Double-click the AXIS Service Control icon in Windows notification area.
2. Select Modify settings.
3. In the Proxy settings section, use the default System account internet option or select Use manual proxy settings.
4. Click Save.
NAT and Firewall
When the client and the server are separated by a NAT, firewall or similar, configure the NAT or firewall to ensure that the HTTP port,
TCP port, and streaming port specified in AXIS Camera Station Service Control are allowed to pass through the firewall and/or NAT.
For instructions how to configure the NAT or firewall, contact the network administrator.
Server port configuration
The ports 55752 (HTTP), 55754 (TCP), 55756 (mobile communication), and 55757 (mobile streaming) are used on AXIS Camera
Station server for communication between the server and the client. If required, the ports can be changed from AXIS Camera
Station Service Control.
Security considerations
To prevent unauthorized access to cameras and recordings, keep the following in mind:
• Use strong passwords for all network devices (cameras, video encoders and auxiliary devices).
• Install AXIS Camera Station server, cameras, video encoders, and auxiliary devices on a secure network separated
from the office network. AXIS Camera Station client can be installed on a computer on another network, for example
a network with Internet access.
• Ensure all users have strong passwords. Using Windows Active Directory a high level of security can be implemented.
