Users
User access control is enabled by default. An
administrator can set up other users, by
giving these user names and passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer
login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page, as described below:
The u
ser list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):
HTTP/RTSP Password Settings - Select the type of password to allow. You may need to allow
unencrypted passwords if there are viewing clients that do not support encryption, or if
you recently upgraded the firmware and the existing clients do support encryption, but
need to log in again, and be configured to use this functionality.
User Settings - Check the relevant box to enable anonymous viewer login - allows any
viewer direct access to the Live View page.
Enter a value aga
inst ‘Maximum number of simultaneous viewers limited to’ to restrict
the number of Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you
need to save on bandwidth. Note that within the limit of 20 users, all multicast viewers
count as one viewer.
IP Address Filtering
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the network
cameras. Once enabled,
the IP addresses in the list are allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the
drop-down list Allow/Deny the following IP addresses.
The administrator can add up to 256 IP address
entries to the list (a single entry can
contain multiple IP addresses). The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the
user list with the appropriate access rights. This is done from Setup > System Options >
Security > Users.
Referrals - To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the
cameras into external web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP address or
host name of the computer that hosts the web pages with the included video stream.
Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons (;). This
option is only applicable to Motion JPEG video streams.
Viewer Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
Operator An operator can view the Live View page, create and modify events, and adjus
t certain other
settings. Operators have no access to System Options.
Administrator An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup t
ools and can determine the registration of all
other users.
