The user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):

Viewer

Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.

 

 

Operator

An operator can view the Live View page, create and modify events, and adjust certain other

 

settings. Operators have no access to System Options.

 

 

Administrator

An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup tools and can determine the registration of all

 

other users.

 

 

The AXIS M3203/AXIS M3204 network camera supports different methods of user authentication:

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 password, but the exchange of credentials is encrypted, which secures it against eavesdropping.

HTTP/RTSP Password Settings - Select the type of password to allow. You may need to allow unencrypted passwords if there are viewing clients that do not support encryption, or if you recently upgraded the firmware and the existing clients do support encryption, but need to log in again, and be configured to use this functionality.

User Settings - Check the relevant box to enable anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.

Enable Basic Setup - Before using the AXIS M32 Series Network Camera, there are certain settings that should be made, most of which require Administrator access privileges. To quickly access these settings use the Basic Setup in the menu. All settings are also available from the standard setup links in the menu. Basic Setup is enabled by default but can be disabled and removed from the menu.

IP Address Filter

Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the network camera. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list are 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 entries to the list (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses). The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access rights. This is done from Setup > System Options > Security > Users.

HTTPS

The network camera supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS.

A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some protection, true security is only implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority.

A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the Create Certificate Request button. When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of any certificate request currently resident in the camera or installed can also be viewed by clicking the Properties... button. The HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists to enable HTTPS in the camera. For more information, please refer to the online help .
