Axis Communications 207W User Manual

•If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View 

page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.

•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP 

address filtering must be enabled.

•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter-

ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP 
addresses.

HTTPS
The AXIS 207W/AXIS 207MW supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS. 

A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has 

been obtained. Click the Create self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed 

certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some protection, true 

security will only be implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a 

certificate authority. 

A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the 

Create Certificate Request button. When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install 

signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of any certificate request 

currently resident in the camera or installed can also be viewed by clicking the 

Properties... button. The HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists 

to enable HTTPS in the camera.

For more information, please refer to the online help. 

Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h format). The time can be 

displayed in 12h clock format in the Overlay (see below).

clock to automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select the Automatically adjust for

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.

Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 

24h) displayed in the video streams.
