Users
User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on first access. New 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:
User list - the user list displays the authorized users and access levels:
Viewer | Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows 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. |
|
|
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 corresponding checkboxes to enable:
•Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.
•Anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom controls on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
If the available bandwidth is limited, you may want to limit the maximum number of simultaneous viewers. Note that a multicast viewer is counted as one user.
IP Address Filter
Check the Enable IP address filtering box to enable the IP address filtering function. Up to 256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses). Click the Add... button to add new filtered addresses.
When the IP address filter is enabled, addresses added to the list are set as allowed or denied addresses. All other IP addresses not in this list will then be allowed or denied access accordingly; that is, if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied access, and vice versa. See also the online help 
for more information.
Note that users from IP addresses that will be allowed must also be registered with the appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator). This is done from Setup > System Options > Security > Users.
Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the AXIS 241Q/241S into external Web pages, check the Referrals box and enter the IP address or host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream. Multiple IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons (;).
