Server Settings
Click the Video Server icon within the graphic user interface to display and/or edit the following
settings:
Date and Time
You click the Date and Time icon and set the current date and time either Automatically, or
Manually. Setting the date and time Automatically requires you to provide the Internet Address of a
local NTP server and select your local time zone from the available drop-down dialog.
Click Save to register the settings with the Video Server.
Security
To prevent any unauthorized use of the Video Server, access is strictly password protected and
restricted to defined Users and the Administrator(s) only
. Administrator(s) have exclusive access to
the product Administration Tools and determine the registration of all ordinary users.
Notes: Although, the Administrator’s default username and password (set to root and pass respectively)
can be used for logging in to the unit for the first time, it is strongly recommended that you
change the Administrator (root) password of your AXIS 2400/2401 as soon as possible - since all
Axis products are shipped with the same password as default.
As an Administrator, you click the Security button to either:
• define or edit the Administrator password (the Administrator username is permanently set to
root, with password default to pass), or
• define, add and delete user names and passwords
Important!
By default, the AXIS 2400/2401 supports anonymous user access, which means that anybody on the
Internet/intranet has access to the video images from a Web browser.
Should you wish to restrict access, simply enter the usernames and passwords of authorized users in the
General Settings - Security page. If the anonymous user service is satisfactory for your application, simply
do not add any users.
Note: Only characters a - z, A - Z and 0 - 9 are valid when entering usernames and passwords.
