AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - System Options

System Options

Security

User access control is enabled by default, the administrator sets the root password on first access. Other users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below:

Users - the user list displays the authorized users and access levels:

•Viewer - the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live View page.

•Operator - an Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types and adjust certain other settings. The Operator does not have access to the Systems Options configuration pages.

•Administrator - an administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup Tools and can determine the regis- tration of all other users.

User Settings - check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:

•Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.

•Maximum number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the number of unicast viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth. (Note that all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.)

•Anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls on the Live View page.

IP Address Filter

Enable IP Address Filtering - to allow or deny access to the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E, check the box Enable IP address filtering. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list will be allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the drop-down list Allow/Deny the following IP addresses.

The administrator can add up to 256 IP address ranges or single IP addresses to the Filtered IP Addresses list. If IP address filtering is enabled, the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E will allow or deny requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.

See the IP address filtering help files for information on how to add IP address ranges.

The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).

Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E into external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream. Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)

HTTPS

For greater security, the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E can be configured to use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL (Secure Socket Layer)). That is, all communication that would otherwise go via HTTP will instead go via an encrypted HTTPS connection.

Certificate - to use HTTPS for communication with the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E, a Certificate must be created using one of the following methods:

•A self-signed certificate can be created in the network camera, but this does not guarantee the same level of security as an official certificate.

•An official certificate issued by a CA (Certificate Authority). A CA issues and manages security credentials and public keys for message encryption.
