Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided
by the DHCP server. Click the View button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the
following:
Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the camera.
Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part
of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified
Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
Host Name Configuration
The camera can be accessed using a host name instead of an IP address. The host name is
usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified
Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host
name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com.
Enable dynamic DNS updates - The camera includes support for dynamically updating
local DNS servers whenever the product's IP address changes. Check this box to enable the
function.
Note that these settings concern the use of local DNS servers and should not be confused with the settings
for the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service.
Register DNS name - The name entered here will be associated with the camera's IP
address in the DNS server. An example of a DNS name is Axisproduct.example.com
TTL (Time To Live) - This value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS
server should be remembered by clients when they check that the domain name for the
registered IP address is still valid. This reduces the number of times the client has to query
the DNS server, which in turn reduces network usage.
Services
Options for notification of IP address change - if the IP Address for the camera is
changed automatically, e.g. by DHCP, you can choose to be notified. Click Settings... and

Internet Dynamic DNS service and the IP address for the product changes, the service is
