3.2.5.1 General Settings
Use the General Settings page to set the public user access level. This access level is a predefined set of user permissions
that allows the camera to be accessed without logging on. Available permission levels depend upon the model of the device
that you are using.
The General Settings page also allows you to change the way the camera manages users and groups settings. These settings
can be managed on a camera-to-camera basis or by using a centralized server to apply changes to multiple cameras.

Authentication Mode
 Open Authentication
Allows users to view video and use the camera API without validating user credentials. With Open Authentication
selected, you can check “Require password for Stream Selection” or “Require Password for Live View” or both to limit
privileges to authenticated users.
 Closed Authentication
Requires users to possess valid credentials to view video and access the camera API. Before selecting Closed
Authentication, ensure that your video management system supports Closed Authentication mode.
