6.9.2 User Management
Allows you to add or remove users who can view your camera. Useful if you want to allow others to
view your camera, without having full admin rights.
[Add] Up to 64 users (including the admin) can be created.
Adding users: Click Add on the Camera User List page, then fill in a username and password (twice) and
then click Add.
To edit a user’s password: Click on the user name then enter the new password for that user twice and click
Save. To delete a user: Click on the user name then click Delete.
Note: A maximum of 16 users are allowed to access the camera simultaneously. As the number of
simultaneous users increases, the overall performance will decrease. This is dependent on the network
bandwidth, not the camera.
[Allow anonymous access] This is to be used if you wish to share video with other users, without prompting
them for a user name and password. This will allow the user free access to view the “Live View” page,
whereas access to the Settings page will still be prohibited.
[Authentication method] The "basic" authentication scheme is based on the model that the client must
authenticate itself with a user-ID and a password. Digest Access is a more secure login method as the
username and password are encrypted before being sent over the internet, however not all systems
support Digest Access Authentication.
