To prevent unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA network
came
ra supports multi-user password protection, where access can be restricted to a
defined number of users only (maximum of 20).
The AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA Network Camera supports
several methods of user
authentication. These are:
• HTTP Basic Authentication
- This authenticates the user by requesting a user
name and a password. The exchange of network credentials is in simple
base64 coding and is not encrypted.
• HTTP
Digest Authentication - This method also requests a user name and pass-
word, but the exchange of credentials is e
ncrypted, which better secures it
against eavesdropping.
User settings - ch
eck the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
• Anony
mous viewer login - allows viewers direct access to the Live View page.
• Anonymous
PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom
controls on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).

cking the Enable IP address filtering box enables the IP address filtering function. Up

added to the list are set as allowed or
