DEFINITION OF USER ACCESS LEVELS
There are four predefined user access levels or groups. User access levels range from the Administrator group to the Restricted group. By default, the system starts up with a default Guest account. The Admin user can assign automatic login for a specified user. For information about setting up auto login, refer to Assigning Automatic Login Permission to a User on page 214.
The Guest account has Restricted user access. Table BC describes the default user group access rights.

DEFINITION OF CAMERA SECURITY ACCESS
The administrator can limit the cameras that users are allowed to view. Access to a camera is determined by its security designation. The Admin user can configure access rights to any user group, for any of the following functions:
•Camera security
•View live video
•Operate PTZ
•Playback video
•Set PTZ
•Access export menu
Only users with High Security access can view cameras designated as High Security. Medium Security cameras can be viewed by users with Medium Security access and higher. All users can view Low Security cameras. All users can view No Security cameras. If you do not want video from a low security level camera to be viewed by the Guest user, set the security level for that cameras to medium or higher.
