System Options

Security

Users

User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by giving these user names and passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page, as described below:

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.

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 M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W 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 selection 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).

All other IP addresses not in this list will be allowed or denied access accordingly. In other words, if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied access, and vice versa.

HTTPS

The network cameras support 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 certificates or certificate requests currently resident or installed in the camera 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.
