3.10 Security Properties
The Security properties page contains user/password information for securing NetCam from unwanted visitors.
NetCam Users
NetCam has its own
admin - The admin user has configuration and viewing rights. It is strongly recommended that you change the default password (initially “admin”) to something else. This will prevent anonymous users from logging into the camera and making changes. It is important to choose your password carefully. Pick something that cannot be easily guessed. The password can be a combination of alpha and numeric characters, upper and lowercase (maximum 8 characters).
Tip: Use a password that cannot be easily guessed (maximum 8 characters).
viewer - The viewer user only has viewing rights (this user cannot access the configuration menus). By default, the viewer user has no password. This allows anyone to view the images on the camera without being prompted for a password. If you want to block public access to the live image, you will need to change the password for the viewer user.
To modify the password of an existing user, click on the user name and then type in a new password in the password field (retype it in the verify password field). Then click the Add/Modify button.
