Services
Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping
method, which associates the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Uncheck this option
to disable the service in order to prevent unintentional resetting of the IP address. For
more information see Other methods of setting the IP address in the AXIS 223M
Installation Guide.
Notes: • The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or
as soon as an IP address is set.
• Pinging the unit will still be possible when this service is disabled.
Options for notification of IP address change - DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address
assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the situation where
the IP address changes and you lose contact with the camera. Configure the options for
notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the camera
when the IP address changes.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service can
provide your Axis product with its own URL (web address), which can then be used to
access it over the Internet. The product can be unregistered from the service at any time.
To do this click Settings... and follow the instructions. For more information, please refer
