Users
User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by assigning user names and passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page.
The AXIS 210A/211A Network Camera supports several 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.
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 registration of all other users.
To add a new user, click the Add... button and see the online help.
