5.2.2.2 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
SNMP provides a simple framework for administering networked hardware. To manage the IP
camera, you have to prepare a MIB browser or similar tools first. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3
can be enabled simultaneously.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2:
The term "Community name" in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c can be roughly regarded as key. The person
who has the community name has the authority to read or edit the information of IP camera via SNMP.
Tick the box to enable SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol, and specify the community name for write (read
and write) and read (read-only). The user who use read community name to access the IP camera
cannot modify any data of this camera.
SNMPv3:
For data security reason, the authentication and encryption assurances are added when
developing SNMPv3. The user has to give not only the security name (the same as "community name"
in v1&v2c, or sometimes we call it "context name") but the password in order to access the IP camera.
Please set security name, authentication type, authentication password, encryption type,
encryption password of write and read respectively. The password must be 8~64 bits in length.
Different from in SNMPv1 and v2c, the user have to create an account when using SNMPv3. In the
account parameters, key in the security name and password you set in the camera to get accessing.
