Note: The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted or altered.

4.Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 45.

Accessing the camera from the Internet

Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
