29
Date & Time
Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). If this has not been configured, the time
displayed is the default setting. The time can be displayed in 12h clock format in the Overlay Images (see below).
New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list and check the daylight saving time changes,
if desired.
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 AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E will obtain the time from an NTP server every
60 minutes. Specify the NTP server's IP address or host name.
Note that if using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings. See
Network > TCP/IP below.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the
Live View video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming &
Date/Time Formats in the help files for information on how to create your own file formats.
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
The AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.
IPv4 Address Configuration - when using IPv4, the IP address for the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E can be
set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
IPv6 Address Configuration - If IPv6 is enabled, the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E will receive an IP address
according to the configuration in the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for using the AXIS Internet
Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help.
Notes:
• 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. Configure the options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to
receive notification from the network camera when the IP address changes.
• Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E by host name which is
always the same, regardless of the IP address.

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. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent
unintentional resetting of the IP address.
Notes:
• The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled 2 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 - if the IP Address for the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E is
changed automatically, e.g. by DHCP, you can choose to be notified. Click Settings... and enter the required
information.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - If the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E has been registered with the Axis
Internet Dynamic DNS service and the IP address for the product changes, the service is updated to reflect the
change. Check the box to enable/disable automatic updates.
