New topicAP3916ic Integrated Camera Deployment

The AP3916ic features an integrated video camera, offering a single device for wireless access and security purposes. Video management is provided by the customer's Video Management System (VMS) integrated per ONVIF Profile S 2.4 compliance. The camera deployment process is as follows:
  1. The AP3916ic is connected to the network and the controller discovers the camera IP address.

    Per ONVIF specification, video management systems query network through WS-Discovery multicast (239.255.255.250). Allow multicast when configuring the default camera topology.

    • Client IP = IP address of camera module
    • Device Type = Extreme Networks 2 MP Camera (EXTR2MP-CAM)
    • AP = AP camera module is ‘associated‘ with Radio/Port = CAM
    • Packet/Byte counters = Indicate Camera Activity
  2. Associate a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) B@AP or B@AC topology to the camera port.
  3. The camera requests a DHCP address.
  4. The EWC Active Clients Report lists the IP address of the camera. You can export the client IP address list to an XML file.
    (Optional) The camera IP address can be detected by third-party tools, such as ONVIF Device Manager.
    Note

    Note

    ExtremeWireless manages the AP and camera firmware revision. After initial connection, the AP/camera may undergo a firmware upgrade. The upgrade process runs before the device becomes fully active on the network.
  5. Based on the reported IP address of the camera, the user associates the camera to the video surveillance system.
