System Options

Security

The user access control in the AXIS 207MW allows an administrator to set up and modify all other users, by providing these with 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:

Users - the user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):

User group

Access privileges

 

 

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 the System Options.

 

 

Administrator

An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup Tools and can determine the registration of all

 

other users.

 

 

User Settings - check the relevant 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 10 viewers, all mul- ticast viewers count as 1 viewer.

IP Address Filtering

Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the AXIS 207MW. 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.
