29 AXIS 207 - System Options
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration
The IP address of the AXIS 207 can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static (fixed) IP
address can be set manually. A host name can be used and there are options for setting up
notification of changes in the IP address. DHCP is enabled by default.
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 camera when the IP
address changes.
• If your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can also access the AXIS 207 by a 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 camera changes,
e.g. automatically by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings...
and enter the required information.

assign a host name for easy access to your AXIS 207.
