AXIS M7001 - System Options
Date & Time
Current Server Time - Displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock format in the
overlay (see below).
New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for
daylight savings time, select the Automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes.
From the Time mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
• Synchronize with computer time - Sets the time from the clock on your computer.
• Synchronize with NTP Server - The video encoder will obtain the time from an NTP server every 60 minutes.
• Set manually - This option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Note:
If using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings.
See Basic TCP/IP Settings, below.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - Specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the video
streams. In addition to the predefined formats, customized date and time formats can also be used. See File Naming &
Date/Time Formats in the online help for information on how to create your own date and time formats.
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
AXIS M7001 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 video encoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or
a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the video encoder receives an IP address according to the
configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more
information on setting the IP address, please see the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
Network Settings
Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the video encoder.
IPv4 Address Configuration
Check the box to enable IPv4.
Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP
server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a
particular MAC address.
Note:
DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification (see below), or if your DHCP server can update a
DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS M7001 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you can-
not access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the AXIS M7001, check the radio button and then make the
following settings:
• IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS M7001. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is available or
not, click the Test button)
• Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the AXIS M7001 is located on
• Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different
networks and network segments.
