User and Group Management
Sarix cameras support two methods for managing the permissions of users and groups.
 Local Mode
The camera manages users and groups locally. This is the default setting.
 Remote Mode
The camera authenticates and manages users through an LDAP server supported by Microsoft® Active Directory®. This
allows administrators to tie cameras and group permissions into existing single sign-on services (SSO). Selecting
Remote Mode disables local user management settings.
