AXIS M3005-V Network Camera
System Options
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4
A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a si n gle connection to the Internet. This is done b y forwarding
network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private ne twork (LAN) is increased
since most routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).
Use NAT traversal w h en the Axis product is located on an intrane t (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other
(WAN) side of a NAT router. With NA T tra versal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external H TTP port in the NAT router
isforwardedtotheproduct.
NAT traversal is configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnP
TM
.
• The router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband
sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP
TM
.
Note that UPnP
TM
must be enabled in the product (see System Options > N etwork > UPnP).
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in
the field. If no router is specified, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on y our network. If more than one router is
found, the default router is selected.
Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually defi ne an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field. If no port is
entered here, a port number is a utomatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.
Note
• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful i f your NAT router does
not support UPnP a nd you need to manually configure port forwa rding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually e nter a port that is alre ady in use, another available port is automatically se lected.
• When the port is selected automatically it is displaye d in this field. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.
FTP
The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled
under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
This FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.
RTSP
The RTS P server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be
changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.
Note
H.264 video streams will not be available if t he RTSP server is disabled.
SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks o n the other
side of a firewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a lo cal network behind a firewall, and
notifications, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).
SOCKS is configured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help
