To prevent unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA network camera supports
The AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA Network Camera supports several methods of user authentication. These are:
•HTTP Basic Authentication - This authenticates the user by requesting a user name and a password. The exchange of network credentials is in simple base64 coding and is not encrypted.
•HTTP Digest Authentication - This method also requests a user name and pass- word, but the exchange of credentials is encrypted, which better secures it against eavesdropping.
User settings - check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
•Anonymous viewer login - allows viewers direct access to the Live View page.
•Anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom controls on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
IP Address Filter
Checking the Enable IP address filtering box enables the IP address filtering function. Up to 256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses). Click the Add button to add new filtered addresses.
When the IP address filter is enabled, addresses added to the list are set as allowed or denied addresses. If the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied access, and vice versa. See also the online help 
for more information.
