Server Port Configuration; Security Considerations - Axis S2108 User Manual

AXIS Camera Station S2108 Appliance
Configure your device
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

AXIS Camera Station server uses ports 55752 (HTTP), 55754 (TCP), 55756 (mobile communication), and 55757 (mobile streaming) for
communication between the server and the client. You can change the ports in AXIS Camera Station Service Control if required. See
General in 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 separate from
the office network. You can install the AXIS Camera Station client on a computer on another network, for example,
a network with internet access.
• Make sure all users have strong passwords. Windows Active Directory provides a high level of security.
