Users

User access control is enabled by default and can be configured under System Options > Security > Users. An administrator can set up other users by giving them user names and passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page.

The user list displays authorized users and user groups (access levels):

Viewer - Access to the Live View page

Operator - Access to the Live View page and to all settings except System Options

Administrator - Unrestricted access to all settings; can add, modify and remove other users.

Under 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 upgraded the firmware and existing clients support encryption but need to log in again and be configured to use this functionality.

Under User Settings, select the Enable anonymous viewer login option to allow anonymous users access to the Live View page.

Select the Enable anonymous PTZ control login to allow anonymous users access to the PTZ controls.

Deselect the Enable Basic Setup option to hide the Basic Setup menu. Basic Setup provides quick access to settings that should be made before using the Axis product.

ONVIF

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants, and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology. ONVIF enables interoperablity between different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced cost and future-proof systems.

By creating a user you automatically enable ONVIF communication. Use the user name and password with all ONVIF communication with the product. For more information see www.onvif.org

IP Address Filter

IP address filtering is enabled on the System Options > Security > IP Address Filter page. Once enabled, the listed IP address are allowed or denied access to the Axis product. Select Allow or Deny from the list and click Apply to enable IP address filtering.

The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses).

HTTPS

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol providing encrypted browsing. HTTPS can also be used by users and clients to verify that the correct device is being accessed. The security level provided by HTTPS is considered adequate for most commercial exchanges.

The Axis product can be configured to require HTTPS when users from different user groups (administrator, operator, viewer) connect.

To use HTTPS, an HTTPS certificate must first be installed. Go to System Options > Security > Certificates to install and manage certificates. See Certificates, on page 35.

To enable HTTPS on the Axis product:

1. Go to System Options > Security > HTTPS

M7014 specifications

The Axis Communications M7014 is a state-of-the-art video encoder designed to enhance the capabilities of existing analog cameras by integrating them into modern IP-based video surveillance systems. This encoder facilitates the transition from traditional surveillance infrastructure to more advanced and flexible IP solutions, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to modernize their security setups.

One of the main features of the M7014 is its ability to encode video in multiple formats, including H.264 and Motion JPEG. H.264 is particularly valued for its efficient compression capabilities, allowing high-quality video to be transmitted using less bandwidth, which is essential for optimizing storage and network resources. The encoder supports a resolution of up to 720p, ensuring clear and detailed footage that can be crucial for identifying individuals or events.

The M7014 offers four channels, enabling users to connect and manage multiple analog cameras simultaneously. This multi-channel capability is perfect for businesses needing extensive coverage over different areas without the need to invest in multiple encoders. Additionally, the encoder provides two-way audio capabilities, allowing for real-time communication between the monitoring center and the field, which adds an extra layer of security and operational efficiency.

Incorporating advanced video analytics, the M7014 supports functionalities such as motion detection and audio detection, which trigger alerts and notifications in case of suspicious activities. This proactive approach ensures that security personnel are immediately informed about potential threats, enabling timely responses.

Moreover, the M7014 is designed with ease of installation and integration in mind. It features Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing the need for additional power cables and simplifying the setup process. This technology also allows for remote management and configuration, making it easier for users to monitor and adjust settings from various locations.

Furthermore, the device is equipped with Axis' unique One-Click Cloud capability, which allows for seamless connection to cloud services, enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the surveillance system. The M7014 is also compatible with a variety of video management software, ensuring that users can choose a platform that best meets their operational needs.

In summary, the Axis Communications M7014 is a powerful and versatile video encoder designed to support the transition from analog to IP surveillance.
