AXIS Camera Station
Network and Security Configuration
Network and Security Configuration
If AXIS Camera Station Client, AXIS Camera Station Server and the connected network devices are installed on different networks, it
might be necessary to congure proxy and/or rewall settings.
• If the Client and the Server are separated by a proxy server, the client proxy settings should be modied, see Client
Proxy Settings on page 65.
• If the Client and the Server are separated by a NAT, rewall or similar, the NAT or rewall should be modied, see NAT
and Firewall, below.
• If network devices and the Server are separated by a proxy server, the server proxy settings should be modied, see
Server Proxy Settings, below.
If the local network uses a proxy for Internet connection, it might be necessary to congure the proxy settings to:
• register licenses using the automatic registration option (server proxy settings)
• check for and download rmware updates (client proxy settings).
Security Considerations
To prevent unauthorized access to cameras and recordings, keep the following in mind:
• Use strong passwords for all network devices (cameras, video encoders and auxiliary devices).
• Install AXIS Camera Station Server, cameras, video encoders and auxiliary devices on a secure network separated from
the ofce network. AXIS Camera Station Client can be installed on a computer on another network, for example
a network with Internet access.
• Make sure all users have strong passwords. Using Windows Active Directory a high level of security can be implemented,
see User Permissions on page 66.
NAT and Firewall
If there is a NAT, rewall or similar that separates AXIS Camera Station Server from AXIS Camera Station Client, it might be necessary
to congure the NAT and/or rewall to allow access to the network. Make sure that the HTTP port, TCP port and streaming port
specied in AXIS Camera Station Service Control are allowed to pass through the rewall and/or NAT.
For information about the Service Control, see AXIS Camera Station Service Control on page 68. For instructions how to congure the
NAT or rewall, contact the network administrator.
Note
Some antivirus programs also block applications from accessing the network, similar to a rewall. To congure the antivirus
program to allow the Client and/or Server to access the network, refer to the documentation provided with the program.
Server Proxy Settings
The server proxy settings need to be congured if:
• AXIS Camera Station Server and the network devices are separated by a proxy server
• the network uses a proxy for Internet connection and you want to register licenses.
