AXIS 233D - System Options 39

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:

User	Description
Viewer	Provides 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 registration 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 Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth. Note that within the limit of 20 users, all multi- cast viewers count as 1 viewer.

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

IP Address Filtering

Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the AXIS 233D. 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 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.

Referrals

To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the cameras 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 (;). This option is only applicable to Motion JPEG video streams.
