Kerberos authentication

• AXIS Camera Station Pro uses the Microsoft Negotiate protocol (SPNEGO) which means that Kerberos is the preferred and default authentication protocol.

View components

• The component page lets you manage components and view their status.

• See Components in the AXIS Camera Station Pro user manual for more information.

Optimize for storage

• Optimize for storage uses more advanced compression tools to save additional storage compared to the default Zipstream setting.

• This profile can further reduce the bitrate even for scenes with a lot of motion.

• See Edit stream profiles in the AXIS Camera Station Pro user manual for more information.

Double swipe

• The double-swipe allows a cardholder override the current state of a door.

• For example, they can use it to unlock a door outside the regular schedule, which is more convenient than going into the system to unlock the door.

• See Door security level in the AXIS Camera Station Pro user manual for more information.

Two-person rule

• The two-person rule requires two people to swipe their cards to gain access.

• See Door security level in the AXIS Camera Station Pro user manual for more information.
