System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by giving these 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):
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 event types 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 viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth. Note that the limit of 20 users does not affect or include the number of multicast viewers.
IP Address Filter
The administrator can add up to 256 IP addresses to the Allowed IP Addresses list. If the IP address filtering checkbox is checked, only the IP addresses in the list will be allowed access to the camera.
The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).
Referrals - to prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the camera 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.
Notes: •If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.
•Restricting referrers has no effect on an
•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter- ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP addresses.
