ENABLING REMOTE MODE
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Users tab.
2. Select General Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. Select Remote Mode. The default setting is Local Mode.
4. Type the IP address or host name of the LDAP server in the LDAP Server box.
5. Type the port over which the camera communicates with the LDAP server in the LDAP Port box. The default port for LDAP communications
is 389.
6. Type the distinguished name (DN) or domain component (DC) that is the basis for LDAP searches in the Base DN box.
7. Provide the template to format the user name (provided when the user logs on to the camera) for searches in the LDAP directory in the Bind
DN Template box.
8. Provide the LDAP search query for users found in the base DN in the Search Template box. The search must match an entry in the LDAP user
record to the bind name (user name).
9. Type the Group Mappings for each of the camera’s four user groups:
a. Type the common name (CN) and domain component (DC) for the group of users to whom you want to grant admin access in the
Admins box.
b. Type the CN and domain component (DC) for the group of users to whom you want to grant manager access in the Managers box.

d. Type the CN and domain component (DC) for the group of users to whom you want to grant viewer access in the Viewers box.
10. Type the credentials of a user who can be authenticated through the LDAP server in the User and Password boxes.
NOTE: Remote Mode (LDAP authentication) will not be enabled if you leave these boxes blank or do not provide valid credentials; this
ensures that you cannot lock yourself out of the camera with invalid or incorrect LDAP settings.
11. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
