AXIS AXIS Network & System Integration 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What protocol do AXIS cameras primarily use to automatically obtain an IP address on a network?
- DHCP (Correct answer)
- RARP
- BOOTP
- APIPA
Correct answer: DHCP
AXIS cameras use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address when connected to a network with a DHCP server.
Question 2: Which AXIS software tool is recommended for large-scale device discovery, configuration, and firmware management?
- AXIS IP Utility
- AXIS Camera Station
- AXIS Device Manager (Correct answer)
- AXIS Companion
Correct answer: AXIS Device Manager
AXIS Device Manager supports bulk configuration and firmware updates across hundreds of devices from a single interface.
Question 3: What is the maximum recommended cable length for a PoE Cat6 Ethernet connection to an AXIS IP camera?
- 50 meters
- 100 meters (Correct answer)
- 150 meters
- 200 meters
Correct answer: 100 meters
The IEEE 802.3 standard limits PoE over Cat6 copper twisted-pair cabling to a maximum of 100 meters.
Question 4: Which video streaming protocol is most commonly used by AXIS cameras for live viewing over a network?
- FTP
- RTSP (Correct answer)
- HTTP only
- SMTP
Correct answer: RTSP
RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) on port 554 is the primary protocol used by AXIS cameras to stream live video to clients and VMS platforms.
Question 5: What AXIS technology reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50% compared to standard H.264?
- AXIS Zipstream (Correct answer)
- MPEG-2 compression
- MJPEG only
- Raw uncompressed video
Correct answer: AXIS Zipstream
AXIS Zipstream intelligently reduces bitrate in areas of low interest while maintaining full quality where relevant motion or detail is present.
Question 6: When configuring VLANs for an AXIS camera network, what is the primary security benefit?
- Increased video resolution
- Network segmentation to isolate camera traffic (Correct answer)
- Faster frame rates
- Automatic firmware updates
Correct answer: Network segmentation to isolate camera traffic
VLANs segment camera traffic from the main corporate network, reducing the attack surface and limiting the impact of a compromised device.
