Users Tab
Use the Users tab to create and manage user accounts and to change the way the camera manages the users settings.
General Users Settings
The general users settings page sets the open or closed authentication mode. With open authentication, users can view video and use the
camera API without validating user credentials. With closed authentication, users must log on to the camera with a user name and password.
The general users settings page also allows you to change the way the camera manages users and groups. These settings can be managed on a
camera-to-camera basis (local mode) or by using a centralized server to apply changes to multiple cameras (remote mode).
Users Settings
The users settings page defines the access levels assigned to individuals logged on to the camera. Use this page to create, modify, or delete user
accounts for Administrators, Managers, Operators, and Viewers. User accounts are created to limit permissions.
SELECTING THE USERS AND GROUPS SETTINGS
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Users tab.
2. Select General Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. Select one of the following Authentication modes:
Open Authentication: Allows users to view video and use the camera API without validating user credentials. When Open Authentication
is selected, you can select “Require password for PTZ control” to limit PTZ control 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.
4. Select one of the following User and Group Management modes to manage permissions of users and groups:
Local Mode: The camera manages users and groups locally. Any changes to users and groups affect only the camera that you are
accessing. The default setting is Local Mode.
Remote Mode: The camera authenticates and manages users through a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (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 Mode and all management is done on the server.
5. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
WARNING: Remote Mode settings are advanced controls. Contact your network administrator to obtain the required information to
configure remote settings.
