SNMP Configuration

SNMP is an abbreviation of Simple Network Management. This feature allows using an SNMP management console to query camera properties, but does not allow changing them. Open the SNMP Configuration dialog to set the information that is to be revealed.


Description of the Parameters in the General Configuration of the SNMP Agent Section

Parameter Description
Agent The SNMP agent can offer authentication according to SNMPv2c or SNMPv3. Note that you can use both versions concurrently or switch off SNMP as a whole.
System Location Contents of the SNMP variable System Location (SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation, OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6).
System Contact Contents of the SNMP variable System Contact (SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact, OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4).
System Description Contents of the SNMP variable System Description(SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr, OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1).
If this field is left empty, the camera automatically sets the variable to the model name of the camera (e.g. M24M-Secure).
