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 camera 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 Network > TCP/IP below.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in
the video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming &
Date/Time Formats in the online help for information on how to create your own file formats.
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration
The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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 camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address
can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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 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.
• Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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 camera changes, e.g. automatically
by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings... and enter the required information.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - Use the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name
for easy access to your AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 (requires Internet access).
